C-Tac Instructor Camp

The C-Tac® System Seamlessly Integrates Everyday Carry (EDC)

Integrating EDC principles into all of its training ensures 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. We don’t just talk about situational awareness—we actively teach and practice techniques and drills designed to embed these critical skills into your nervous system.

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. We ensure that everything we do remains within a framework that is both visually appropriate and socially acceptable.

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 strongly emphasizes 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. In Tac we study 6 areas of training on the ground:

1. Grappling: A fundamental study of grappling that blends techniques and strategies from Jiu-Jitsu, Combat Submission Wrestling (CSW), Catch Wrestling, and Shoot Boxing. This integrated approach emphasizes a more aggressive and effective style, designed to enhance your versatility and adaptability in combat scenarios.
2. EDC Grappling: When weapon systems are introduced into the grappling environment, fundamental changes must be made. These adjustments impact everything from mechanics and techniques to movement itself. EDC Grappling addresses these critical shifts, ensuring your grappling skills are effective and adaptable in scenarios involving everyday carry (EDC) weapons.
3. Anti-Grappling: Anti- or counter-grappling is the study of the grappling environment, focusing on understanding its dynamics and learning how to use them to your advantage in a fight. This approach equips you with strategies to neutralize or counter grappling techniques effectively, turning the tables on your opponent.
4. Ground Fighting: When you incorporate weapons, striking, multiple opponents, and challenging environments like sidewalks or parking lots, the dynamics of ground fighting completely change. This approach prepares you for real-world scenarios where adaptability, awareness, and tactical thinking are essential for survival.
5. Dog Boxing: Dog Boxing focuses on the art of “out of position” fighting, teaching you how to effectively defend and attack when you’re in unconventional or disadvantaged positions. It’s a specialized study designed to prepare you for real-world scenarios where perfect form and positioning aren’t always an option.
6. Grounded Weapons Fighting: This isn’t about grappling with a firearm; it’s about applying the tactical principles typically used while standing—such as maintaining distance, achieving a superior angle, and controlling timing—all within the context of being on the ground. These strategies go beyond the limitations of traditional grappling to give you a more comprehensive approach to ground-based combat with weapons.
