What You’ll Master — Tactical, Practical, Unmistakable

Train the mechanics, master the tools, control the outcome. This module is built for real people who must perform under pressure — no fluff, pure repetition, and scenario stress-testing so your body and decision-making operate as one.

Body Mechanics — Build a Foundation That Wins

• Pyramid Stance — stance mechanics for stability and explosive movement.
• Wide Base / Deep Base / Low Center — resist pushes, maintain balance, and create leverage.
• Head Over Center / Decentralization — protect your visual and balance axis while transferring force efficiently.
• Power Generation — convert stance + hip drive into controlled stopping power (not just brute force).

Baton Concepts — From Safe Carry to Surgical Application

• Carrying the Baton — secure, compliant, ready.
• Presentation (Drawing the Baton) — fast, lawful, and smooth deployment under stress.
• Baton Grip — maximize leverage, retention, and follow-through.
• Baton Modes — understand Closed vs Open modes and when each dominates.
• Target Areas & Closing the Baton — precise strike selection and finishing mechanics.

Baton Skills — Drill, Chain, and Execute

Closed Mode Strikes

• Weapon Strike — decisive, controlled disabling strikes.
• Reaction Strike — fast responses to emerging threats.
• Straight Strike — efficient lines, repeatable hits.
• Closed Mode Combinations — flow between strikes without losing balance.

Open Mode Strikes

• Weapon Strike — distance-based disabling options.
• Rapid Response Strike — immediate, high-fidelity reactions.
• Reaction Strike — timing under pressure.
• Open Mode Combinations — chains that control movement and create opportunities.

Defensive & Retention — Protect Your Tool, Protect Yourself

• Counter Strike v Blocking — choose offense or structural defense that wins the exchange.
• Weapon Retention — keep the baton (and advantage) when suspect becomes aggressive.
• Weapon Disarming v Weapon Defense — step-by-step options to neutralize weapons while minimizing risk.

Outcomes You’ll Walk Away With

• Move with intent — muscle memory replaces hesitation.
• Control encounters — less-lethal options that protect civilians and careers.
