Defensive Tactics For Executive Protection (DT4EP) Module 4

Course Description:

The Executive Protection Institute (EPI) and Alan Baker have developed a new system of innovative and proven response measures designed to fulfill the unique requirements of the Personal Protection Specialist (PPS).

EPI's Protection Response Tactics (PRT) includes techniques from a variety of striking and grappling arts that will be beneficial to both the skilled operator and the novice.

PRT offers appropriate solutions to all levels of risk.

All countermeasures employed by professional bodyguards should reduce the risk to those they protect. The executive protection agent seeks to reduce the risk to the client by avoiding confrontation. If faced with confrontation, the professional bodyguard would prefer to evacuate the client.

Sometimes, avoidance does not work, sometimes evacuation is not the answer, and sometimes the appropriate countermeasure is the reasonable application of physical force. This system provides the tools necessary for that reasoned response.

With the increased popularity of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), professional bodyguards face an opponent who has increased awareness and access to effective training. Despite proper preparations to avoid conflict, the professional bodyguard or personal protection specialist may be faced with a threat that requires immediate engagement.

PRT provides the tools and the training to reduce the risk by engaging the threat.

The Protector's ultimate goal is to reduce the clients risk by using the appropriate response. Protection Response Tactics provides the tools and the training to give the protectors additional appropriate countermeasures to help keep their clients safe.

Module 4:

This program introduces tactical ground fighting and counter grappling. Due to the popularity of grappling, the chances of the protection agent ending up on the ground are higher. The standard of the industry is to study grappling in order to counter grappling, this takes a great commitment from the protection specialist. This program is designed to give the student a solid answer to counter this environment by using more of an anti-grappling mindset. It is the goal of the protection agent to end the encounter quickly, get back to your feet and back to the principal.
