THE C-TAC SELF-DEFENSE PROGRAM
Bridging The Gap Between Martial Arts And Self-Protection.
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)
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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

C-Tac® strives to bring real-world tactical training to the civilian world.
Turn on any TV, watch the news, and you will see how changes in today’s world and our culture are creating the need for information and training that exceeds what a regular martial art school or Karate program has to offer.
The many benefits of martial arts in our culture have been proven over time and are more than mentioned here. Still, today’s mar

tial arts community does not offer the experience, background, or knowledge needed to effectively meet the needs of industries that need more narrow, specialized applications.
Today, many “self-defense” instructors received their certification to teach by attending a three-day weekend seminar. Many groups in the martial arts that call themselves “martial arts practitioners” claim to offer solutions for today’s needs. Still, when you peel back the layers of the so-called “realistic programs,” they generally turn out to be just well-marketed nonsense that was pieced together to have something to sell to the unknowing civilian.
C-Tac will give you a well-rounded, effective personal protection plan that will cover intelligent threat assessment and planning, essential firearm use and close-quarter manipulation (Disarms, Weapon Retention), a practical and realistic defensive tactic (Self-Defense) that will work in multiple environments, including hallways, doorways, ground fighting, and in and around motor vehicles – to name a few.
The C-Tac system was developed to mentally and physically prepare you for dangerous situations by teaching you pre-fight conflict-resolution techniques and situational awareness. Both beginners and advanced students can train and become proficient in C-Tac.
You will study the urban weapons that allow you to take everyday objects and use them as tools in a threatening encounter. Also, as part of the urban weapons program, we show you how to use a bladed weapon or how to defend against the bladed weapon if someone attempts to use one on you.
There are two methods of study through the association. One is the student level which primarily involves studying with a certified instructor or studying virtually through the online video Training Academy on this website. Additionally, the student can also attend one of the many seminars that Coach Baker teaches around the United States annually. The second option is for the Professional Martial Artist that is looking to implement the C-Tac program into their schedule at the Academy. The second option is achieved through the instructor training program.

In today’s high-stakes world, the unique needs of protection agents are often overlooked in traditional martial arts and defensive tactics programs. Many programs fail to consider the visual and social perceptions of techniques used in public settings. They lack robust de-escalation methods, crucial in managing potential conflicts without escalating to violence. Furthermore, these programs often do not address the legal implications and litigation concerns protection agents might face in the line of duty. This gap in training can leave agents unprepared for the nuanced realities of their profession.
Protection Response Tactics is meticulously crafted to fill this critical gap. Our program is tailored specifically for protection agents, focusing on the subtleties of conducting oneself in high-tension scenarios while being mindful of public perception and legal ramifications. We emphasize strong de-escalation techniques, providing agents with effective tools to diffuse conflicts without resorting to excessive force. Our comprehensive training also covers the legal aspects of protection work, preparing agents to make informed decisions that minimize the risk of litigation. With Protection Response Tactics, agents can confidently navigate the complexities of their role, armed with a skill set that is both effective and conscientious.

THE PROGRAM
Protection Response Tactics is a comprehensive program designed to equip protection agents with the skills needed for various critical scenarios. The program is structured into six phases, each focusing on protection and defensive tactics.
Phase 1: Foundation in Posturing and De-Escalation
This phase lays the groundwork for posturing, verbal tactics, and de-escalation. Trainees learn advanced soft control methods for handling low-level resistance and mastering visually appropriate control techniques for delicate situations. This phase emphasizes pre-contact applications, setting the stage for effective interaction management.
Phase 2: Assault-Level Tactics and Predator Mindset
Phase 2 escalates to dealing with assault-level threats and multiple opponents. This stage is crucial for developing ‘the switch’—the ability to rapidly transition into a heightened state of readiness. Embracing the predator mindset is key in preparing agents for aggressive encounters.
Phase 3: Environmental Mastery
Trainees master navigating challenging environments such as halls, walls, and doors. Vehicle Centric Defensive Tactics are also a significant focus, ensuring agents are prepared for scenarios involving or around vehicles.
Phase 4: Counter Grappling and Ground Fighting
This phase equips agents with skills in Counter Grappling and Ground Fighting, including tactical avoidance of grappling scenarios. It’s designed to provide agents with the tools to defend themselves and effectively maintain control on the ground.
Phase 5: Weapon-Based Attack Principles
In Phase 5, the program dives deep into the principles of success in weapon-based attacks. This phase goes beyond teaching techniques, focusing on the fundamental principles necessary to survive and excel in armed confrontations. Trainees gain an understanding of the principles behind effective disarmament, enabling adaptability across various situations.
Phase 6: Armed Pummeling Fundamentals
The final phase explores standing grappling, focusing on essential skills for weapon retention and disarming in close-quarter encounters. This phase is crucial for understanding and applying techniques in scenarios where both parties are armed.
Each phase of the Protection Response Tactics program is meticulously designed to build upon the previous, ensuring a holistic and comprehensive training experience for protection agents.
