Worst Case Scenarios

Almost all existing defensive tactics courses rely heavily on the compliance of the suspect or on the support of another individual to neutralize the threat. What makes GST unique is that it is the only course that was totally designed to prepare a solo operating military or law enforcement professional to deal with the worst case scenarios that will occur during a physical altercation with a larger, more athletic, non-compliant suspect/enemy/ opponent. Here are some of the scenarios that are covered in detail during the five-day GST course:

• The violent opponent is attempting to strangle or punch the professional from the full mount.
• The professional achieves the mount and seeks to maintain control of the aggressive opponent.
• The professional achieves the mount but the violent opponent rolls uncontrollably to their knees.
• During a deadly force situation, the professional’s firearm malfunctions.
• The non-compliant opponent tries to strangle the professional from the bottom of the mount.
• During a routine conversation, the opponent unexpectedly attacks the professional with punches leaving no time for the firearm to be drawn safely.
• The uncooperative opponent tries to avoid arrest at all cost by staying on his/her feet.
• The professional is underneath an extremely aggressive opponent who is determined to achieve victory by knockout.
• The heavier opponent achieves the top position and uses their weight to crush the smaller professional.
• The professional is operating solo and needs to apply the handcuffs on the resisting opponent.
• The opponent is pinned by the professional but is determined to get up and fight back.
• The opponent has had some grappling experience and uses the guard position to immobilize the professional.
• The opponent is able to mount the professional but the primary mount escape technique fails.
• In a deadly force situation, the professional is trapped underneath the violent opponent and is unable to safely draw his/her firearm.
• The violent opponent is able to get past the professional’s guard to a more advantageous position.
• The professional is under the aggressive opponent in a crowded area and needs to safely draw his/her firearm.
• During a routine conversation, the opponent suddenly rushes towards the professional in an attempt to gain control of the firearm.
• The larger opponent catches the smaller professional in a violent headlock.
• The opponent resists arrest by turning face down and hiding his hands under his body.
• While grappling, the opponent attempts to get control of the professional’s firearm.
• The professional is underneath the violent opponent and must stand up immediately.
• Customized Techniques: As time allows, we perform hands-on demonstrations and develop customized techniques that address additional "what if scenarios".
