Vanguard Krav Maga® Force Training

Academy of Self Defense features a Force Training Division offering battle tested, job specific training to police officers, military, parole officers, custodial officers, and federal agents. Many of the techniques are tailored towards law enforcement and military personnel with the understanding that trainees are wearing body armor and equipment while on duty. Our goal is to provide real world experience in our instruction including but not limited to gun retention, firearm take-away, knife defense, and ground fighting designed to make the trainee accustomed to responding appropriately under stressful situations.

Our focus is to keep officers safe by teaching effective fighting and self defense skills and take into consideration issues of liability. Non-lethal techniques are incorporated into classes to address the officer's personal well-being and subject safety while decreasing liability factors as much as possible.

CDT® Non-Lethal Force certifications, 3rd Party Protection, and other specialized seminars including private training are offered throughout the year to keep individuals in law enforcement and related fields up to date on job specific training. Additionally, we offer customized training tailored specifically for various police departments and agencies which can be held at our facility or an off-site location.
