What I Teach
Is It Run, Hide, Fight?
- It seems simple enough. Run, Hide, Fight. The truth is that these three words are more of a government sound bite than a usable plan of action.
- Obviously, you’ll run, but there are specific ways to run that can save your life. We’ll show you tactical ways to run and escape.
- Of course, you’ll be looking for places to hide. You’ll learn what to look for in a hiding spot and when to leave it.
- You’ll learn strategic methods to hide and evade.
- We’ll show you how and when to attack the Active Shooter for maximum safety. You’ll learn the smart way to engage.
- You’ll even learn the correct way to play dead.
