Hard Target

Click on logo for website

Here's How You and Your Family Benefit
By Attending One of Our Training Seminars:

Hard Target is a daylong personal safety seminar where we take the most proven and effective strategies for reducing the chance of someone becoming the victim of a crime, and combine them with strategies for getting out of a physical situation should you find yourself in one.

We can't teach the average person how to punch someone properly in just a few hours, so this training revolves around the use of leverage instead of pain compliance.

Here is just a sample of what will be revealed:

• A powerful stunning technique that individuals of any age and size can use to give them time to escape a violent situation
• Why leaving your registration and insurance documents inside your vehicle could be an extremely costly mistake (you won't believe what criminals have been doing now!)
• A counter-move to quickly make (if someone grabs you while you are walking past them) that gives you time to react to whatever comes next
• 3 things that criminals looks for when committing a crime and how to use them to your advantage
• Why you should never yell, "FIRE!" if you're in danger, and what to do instead to get an INSTANT response
• What you must ALWAYS keep in mind when encountering aggressive panhandlers and how to handle them effectively
• Why criminals often target individuals waiting for public transit and what you can do to keep yourself safe
• Why "all valuables removed" placards in vehicle windows may not be as effective as you think
• How owning a garage can make you a more desirable target for crime and what criminals will watch for
• What you MUST avoid doing if you go for runs or walks on your own (and No, the time of day is NOT a factor in how safe you are)
• and much, Much, More
