About C-Tac

The Civilian Tactical Training Association philosophy 

Introducing the C-Tac® System: Empowering You with Effective Self-Defense Skills

Are you searching for a comprehensive self-defense system that goes beyond physical techniques? Look no further than the C-Tac® System. Designed to equip individuals with practical self-defense skills, the C-Tac® System goes above and beyond by addressing various crucial aspects of personal protection. Let’s explore what sets the C-Tac® System apart and why it’s the right choice for those seeking a holistic approach to self-defense.

The C-Tac® System seamlessly integrates Everyday Carry (EDC) principles into all of its training, ensuring that the tools and gear you carry daily are effectively utilized in self-defense scenarios. Our approach emphasizes the importance of being prepared with the right EDC items—whether it’s a knife, flashlight, or firearm—and knowing how to deploy them efficiently under stress. Throughout our training, you’ll learn how to incorporate your EDC into various defensive tactics, blending these tools with your skills to maximize your protection. By making EDC an integral part of your training, the C-Tac® System empowers you to be ready for any situation, using the gear you have on hand every day.

Situational Awareness: In the C-Tac® System, situational awareness is a fundamental component. Understanding your surroundings and being able to assess potential threats is crucial for personal safety. Our training focuses on honing your observation skills, enhancing your ability to identify and assess potential dangers, and developing a proactive mindset.

Legal Compliance: Self-defense should always operate within the confines of the law. With the C-Tac® System, you’ll learn self-defense techniques that are not only effective but also legal. Our training emphasizes the importance of understanding the legal framework surrounding self-defense, ensuring that you are equipped with the knowledge to make informed decisions in high-stress situations.

Pre-Fight Social Exchange: Recognizing the signs of a potential confrontation before it escalates is essential. The C-Tac® System teaches you how to navigate pre-fight social exchanges, diffusing conflicts and de-escalating situations whenever possible. By mastering effective communication and conflict resolution skills, you can mitigate the need for physical confrontation.

Reasonable Force Continuum: Understanding the concept of reasonable force is vital for self-defense. The C-Tac® System follows a carefully structured force continuum, guiding you through appropriate responses based on the level of threat. By adhering to this continuum, you will learn to apply force proportionately and ethically, ensuring your actions are justified in the eyes of the law.

Integrated Firearms and Empty Hand Techniques: The C-Tac® System recognizes the role firearms play in personal protection. Our training not only covers empty hand techniques but also integrates firearm skills seamlessly. You will learn how to effectively combine the use of firearms with empty hand techniques, empowering you to handle diverse self-defense scenarios with confidence.

Practical Grappling for the Street: Ground fighting and grappling can be crucial in real-life altercations. The C-Tac® System places a strong emphasis on practical grappling techniques specifically tailored for self-defense situations. Our training provides you with the necessary skills to defend yourself both standing up and on the ground, preparing you for a range of scenarios.

Family Protection: Your family’s safety is a top priority. The C-Tac® System goes beyond individual self-defense by teaching you strategies and techniques to protect your loved ones. Whether it’s implementing effective home security measures or developing family-oriented defense plans, our training ensures you are equipped to safeguard your family in various settings.

Defensive Tactics in and Around a Vehicle: The C-Tac® System recognizes that personal safety extends beyond the confines of your home. We provide comprehensive training on defensive tactics specifically tailored for situations in and around vehicles. From carjackings to road rage incidents, our training equips you with the skills to protect yourself effectively in these environments.

Tactical Medicine: The C-Tac® System goes beyond self-defense by incorporating tactical medicine training. Our program introduces you to the skills to handle everyday emergencies, providing essential knowledge and techniques for immediate medical care. From wound management to recognizing signs of shock, you’ll learn life-saving interventions and the importance of situational awareness.

Disaster Preparedness: The C-Tac® System extends beyond self-defense to include vital disaster preparedness training, equipping you to handle emergencies, both natural and man-made. You’ll learn to identify potential threats, develop a comprehensive family emergency plan, assemble a customized disaster supply kit, and enhance your situational awareness during crises. Additionally, you’ll master basic survival skills such as fire-building, water purification, and first aid while fostering community preparedness by collaborating with neighbors and local organizations. This integrated approach ensures you have the confidence and skills to protect yourself, your family, and your community in any situation.

The C-Tac® System offers much more than just a self-defense program. It provides a comprehensive approach to personal protection, addressing situational awareness, legal compliance, communication skills, reasonable force, integrated firearms training, practical grappling, family protection, and defensive tactics in various settings. By enrolling in the C-Tac® System, you’re taking the first step toward empowering yourself with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of personal safety. Don’t settle for anything less—choose the C-Tac® System for effective and well-rounded self-defense training.
