COURSE DESCRIPTION

Defensive Tactics & Third-Party Protection for Executive Protection Professionals

This intensive course provides a focused exploration into third-party defense and hand-to-hand tactics specifically tailored for those in the Executive Protection (EP) and bodyguarding profession. Designed for both aspiring and seasoned protectors, this training goes beyond theory and delivers real-world, practical skills that could mean the difference between success and failure in the field.

Our highly experienced instructors—many of whom come from military, law enforcement, and high-level private security backgrounds—will break down essential methods of defense with one primary goal: to equip you with the skills necessary to protect your client and yourself in high-stress situations. As we emphasize throughout the course: You are no good to your client if you are hurt, disabled, or compromised.

What You’ll Learn:

• Unarmed & Armed Defense Techniques: Whether you’re carrying a weapon or not, you’ll learn how to neutralize threats swiftly and decisively.

• Defensive Strategies Against Armed and Unarmed Attackers: Understand how to assess and respond to various threat levels using proven close-quarters tactics.

• Proper Body Cover Protocols: You will be trained to instinctively position your body as a human shield when necessary—placing yourself between danger and your client. This includes positioning, movement, redirection of force, and client shielding under duress.

• Rapid Evacuation & Protective Movement Drills: Learn how to move your client out of harm’s way under a variety of conditions—crowds, confined spaces, ambushes, and more.

This course is physically engaging, mentally demanding, and mission-critical for anyone serious about entering or advancing within the Executive Protection or private security industry. Whether you’re working VIP events, private details, or international assignments, these skills will elevate your readiness and operational value.

Your client is trusting you with their life—this course prepares you to honor that responsibility.
