Combined Skills Course @ KR Training, 12-13 Sept.

[fm2]

Last call. Southnarc and Tom Givens will be teaching their Combined Skills Course at Karl Rehn's excellent range near Austin, Texas, on 12-13 Sept.

Southnarc will be working on MUC and PUC. Givens will work on pistol skills. Put it together and you have a lot of useful skill development in a weekend. Call 901-370-5600 to register. Tuition is only $400. Need 600-800 rounds of ammo.


Managing Unknown Contacts deals with the critical pre-fight processes involved in observing and assessing potential attackers; positioning to shift the advantage to you; verbal interaction; and decision making skills. These pre-fight activities often actually determine the outcome of the real fight, when it comes. More importantly, they often deter an assailant from carrying out a planned attack, as he realizes you are a harder target. The next phase will be Practical Unarmed Combat, which deals with proven, simple realistic techniques which can be learned and maintained without a lifetime in the martial arts. Southnarc's skills are simple and straight-forward and work well.

Tom Givens, chief instructor at Rangemaster, spent 25 years in law enforcement and specialized security work before becoming a full-time trainer in 1996. Since then, Tom has trained thousands of students in armed self defense, and every year several Rangemaster students successfully defend themselves against armed attackers. Â Tom is an FBI and NRA certified law enforcement firearms instructor, a champion competitor in both IDPA and IPSC competition, a nationally recognized court expert on firearms training, and the author of several books, including Fighting Smarter. Tom will focus on handgun skills designed to work well under stress. Regardless of skill level, your shooting will improve as a result of this course.
