  • How To Gain The Tactical Edge In The Street
    By: Matthew McKernan | - Defensive Tactics can be summed up in two complimentary strategies: avoidance and initiation. I believe these two concepts comprise one single mindset that will give a police officer a distinct advantage in any situation where they might have to practice the use of force, deadly or otherwise.

  • You Will Pay A Price For Not Learning Self Defense
