Weapons retention is a matter of position and control. Designed for and used by law enforcement, military, and high-profile protective services, this course is essential to anyone anticipating engagement of a physical threat at close quarters and under duress with or without a firearm. Premium training in weapon retention and counter retention (disarming) of edged weapons, impact weapons, and firearms, these up-to-date skills are not specific to weapon type and are effective from a variety of positions.

Attention is paid to safety concerns of holstered firearms, presented firearms, counter-retention (disarming) and weapons retention from unusual positions and a variety of skills that are often ignored such as long gun take-away skills and defeating a counter presentation.
