SECURITY CHALLENGES

• Many senior executives and business leaders are frequently under-protected in light of the critical value they bring to their organizations and the potential threats to which they inherently become exposed.
• Similarly, high-net worth individuals often do not fully recognize that their wealth and prominence may expose them and their families as potential targets for criminal acts such as kidnapping, extortion and robbery.
• The sophistication and determination of potential adversaries who would exploit such exposures of these persons, their organizations or their families is unprecedented.
• Despite such concerns, many executives and high-net worth individuals are reluctant to engage personal protection services because they want to retain privacy and a lifestyle of free movement.
• The need for executives and high-net worth individuals to move swiftly and securely throughout today's global business arena often overburdens the capabilities and resources of most corporate security departments.

Training Areas

Close-Quarter Combat (CQC) training is a series of movements designed to assist visualization, muscle-memory, balance, target selection and tactical flow. It is used to develop and refine fundamental close quarter tools. A real street fight won't follow this sequence exactly but will include elements of the form.

Close-quarter confrontations will occur within double-arm's length and may involve multiple suspects. This range scenario simulates such a confrontation. Over the past 15 years, we have thought in detail about how Executive Protection Specialist, Law Enforcement or Private Security should prepare for extreme close-quarter shooting situations. We have researched what's being accomplished in this area across the country, we are also a product of our own experiences, and compare methods currently being taught to what we have experienced first-hand. With a wide range of agents implementing techniques acquired from EP/PPO details, law enforcement and Military experiences, our agents exhibit unparalleled professionalism in any given situation.

CLOSE QUATERS COMBAT SHOOTING (Live fire, airsoft and simunitions training)

When it comes to (CQC) Close Quarters combat in the real world, there is an Internationally and world renown defensive tactics system that is now used by thousands of military, LEO, corrections and private security organizations across the world providing real-world effectiveness and defensible applications of reasonable force.

KRAV MAGA

Krav Maga can be roughly translated to mean "Close Quarter Fighting" in Hebrew. It is a highly effective defensive tactics system and is not considered a Martial Art. It utilizes a combination of strikes, grapples, throws, locks and holds. Krav Maga was developed in Czechoslovakia in the 1930's by Imi Lichtenfeld. After the nation of Israel was born, Krav Maga was adapted and further developed by the Israeli security forces.

At Leatherneck Investigations, we base our CQC training on real world scenarios, implementing CQC firearms, airsoft or simunitions with the basics principals and fundamentals of Krav Maga. Krav Maga is quick, effective and both easily learned and retained. Because the system is based upon common principals and natural/instinctive movements, officers retain Krav maga techniques with minimal review and practice. CQC is also just not for Law Enforcement or Security Personnel, it's design was originated for the average citizen as a defensive system or mechanism when being attacked. So we at Leatherneck Investigations invite anyone to attend our training sessions. We can also connect you to a local training facility for ongoing training.

Close quarters fighting in Krav Maga is about using simple, direct movements to neutralize an opponent quickly. It is a fighting style developed on the streets and perfected on the battlefield. There is no sporting federation or points system involved. Groin strikes, joint breaks, eye jabs are all legitimate close quarters fighting techniques that can be learned and utilized in Krav Maga.

Close quarters defense in Krav Maga is reliant on several factors. Technique is of course essential but so is awareness, discipline and aggressiveness. Unlike many martial arts that are embodied with a non-violent code, aggressiveness is vital in Krav Maga. Close quarters fighting in Krav Maga is about ending an encounter quickly and effectivly.

Discipline is a key factor because without good discipline, it is impossible to master Krav Maga. Awareness is also key because it allows you to avoid conflicts before they arise. In worse case scenarios, awareness can help you determine when it may be necessary to launch a preemptive strike.

The training is meant to be realistic in nature and to prepare students in the event they should find themselves in a close quarter encounter with an assailant. Many of the techniques used in Krav Maga are popular with mixed martial arts competitors for their effectiveness in bringing down an opponent.

Krav Maga is quick, effective and both easily learned and retained. Krav Maga emerged in an environment where extreme violence, mostly of a political nature, was common. It has had ample opportunity to be tested and improved under real-life conditions. No defensive tactics system in the world is more street and battle-tested than Krav Maga.

Use-of-force issues

Krav Maga enables officers to deal with the most violent offenders they encounter, while remaining acutely aware of reasonable use-of-force and civil liability issues facing law enforcement.

Explanation and Principles

Krav Maga is a simple, aggressive and easy-to-learn system of self-defense. It is the main self-defense system taught at the Fighting Fit since 2001. Training focuses on principles rather than techniques because no two attacks are ever the same.

Among the principles that make up the Krav Maga system are:

• Techniques should be movements based on natural instincts;
• Techniques must address the immediate danger;
• Techniques must defend and counterattack simultaneously;
• One defense must work against a variety of attacks;
• The system should be integrated so that movements learned in one area of the
• system complement, rather than contradict, movements in another area;
• Techniques must be useable by the average person, not just athletes;
• Techniques must work from a disadvantageous position;
• Training must include the stress experienced in real attacks.
• Krav Maga is always fluid in that new and alternative techniques are constantly being
• developed and integrated under these core principles.
