ISR Matrix Headquarters is looking to build a strong local training center for civilian professionals looking to learn and train with like minded peers interested in personal protection and self-defense.
This introductory course will focus on the essentials of our core system and its dynamic transitions from hand to hand defense to less than lethal tools as well as the proper and efficient deployment of lethal force when legally and morally warranted.
Ideal for those looking for a tested, vetted and proven approach to real world protection without having to piece it all together for themselves from the endless and varied points of view of martial artists, combat athletes, “reality based brawlers” and the many conflicting perspectives of the ever expanding firearms and tactical community.
All sessions are taught by certified members of the highly regarded ISR Matrix Instructor and Training Cadre which consists exclusively of experienced Law Enforcement Officers, Federal Agents and Military Special Forces veterans.
Open to gentlemen age 40 and up.
Training Requirements: Participants should wear comfortable workout clothing (gym clothing is fine). Street shoes are not permitted on the mat, wrestling shoes are highly recommended.
