Dynamic Movements 1

Overview:

Gaining the ability to move confidently and competently is invaluable and what is necessary to survive in a real-world threat scenario.

Standing in place, freezing, panicking or running without direction, during “Fight or Flight” reaction, is a very real and terrifying scenario many unprepared and good citizens have experienced.

This course is designed to take students beyond the static shooting line and implement the skills and develop the muscle memory to operate efficiently in a stressful environment, without a stressful training simulation.

Dynamic Movements 1 will teach students to apply the most basic skills and fundamentals of both pistol and rifle including solving malfunctions, reloading, and transitioning between primary and secondary weapons while on the move.

By the day's end all students will become proficient while MOVING, through training of “micro-movement’ phases in the following areas:

• Basic to intermediate malfunctions
• Proper reloading and combat reloading
• Transitioning between primary and secondary systems
• Presentation and Target Engagement

The culmination event will be a 60-yard stage with multiple targets at various known distances where each student will execute all of the above proficiently.
