interesting

Sounds very worthwhile. Wish my schedule would allow attendance.

It sounds like it's not so much physical "mano-a-mano combat" (though I suppose there may be some; remember it is a 1-day class though!) as it is working within the confines of the structure to defend your home with a firearm and get you and/or your family out. From the description:

Training topics include the Principles of Indoor Combat, Structure Traits & Nomenclature, Indoor Scenarios & Tactical Decision Making, movement methods & tempos, Door Management, Room Entry, Room Clearing, Room Management, Confined Spaces, Halls & Walls, Compound Problems, Solo & Partner CQB, Hardpointing, Crisis Egress, and After-Action Measures.

I would expect 90+% of the class to cover moving within the structure with a firearm (blue gun or airsoft) and dealing with indoor structures and obstacles. Feel free to contact PFC however if you have questions, and post the response here.

Hi everyone, here is some more info about what to expect with the TIDE class...

Conceptually, we are presenting modified Indoor Combat/CQB principles, tactics and techniques derived from our restricted programs. This material has been tailored to apply to anyone who is armed and must defend themselves or someone else inside of a building.

There will be little to no instruction in combatives or physical defense (critical topics, but not enough time for this event). Emphasized in this training will be structure clearing, indoor crisis response and tactical problem solving as you move into, through or out of a building by yourself or with someone else. We may offer a few physical defense options if fighting in a confined space, but available time will dictate. Overall, the goal is to provide students with fundamental food for thought if they are faced with certain indoor armed defense scenarios. We are realistic about what can be accomplished in one day and hope to merely present some effective methods for staying as safe as possible under the circumstances.

The first couple of hours will include classroom instruction and the remainder of the day will consist of technical drilling and practical exercises with blue guns. With a single day of instruction and A LOT of information to provide, there is no time allotted for force-on-force evolutions. Lecture, demonstration and entry-level practical application will be the model for the day.

We expect to have four instructors on hand (depending on enrollment). Assigned so far are Mike Barnhart, Brian Hartman and Sean Hendrickson (w/ a 4th instructor TBD).

I hope this information helps. As always, please consider us a resource and don't hesitate to call or email if we can be of service.

Sorry no cosplay, necrophilia or lawyer beating on the program. PFC's classes are always worthwhile. Might be able to buy key chains too

Don't forget your mittens!

But you get to be one of the first to visit Cyberdyne Systems ARFCOMs HQ...
You'll be part of the first class ever held here which will be recorded in history and no one can ever take that away from you.
If that's not enough, you also get excellent training that is more valuable than your typical live fire range course.

Sounds awesome! I'll have to check my schedule and see if I can swing it.

Steve @ PFC thanks for the clarification, was wondering if this gonna cover some MOUT tactics (limited in scope) and that appears to be a yes.

Now to get my ass my CW AGAIN..... Yes I am an ass let my permit expire (been a nuts year, lost 2 aunts and my last grandmother between july and mid November and my son was born in February), so I am havign to do all this shat all over. RANT OFF

If I have my crap together in time I am so in and will be tracking this thread.

Yeah, and I also need a ride

It's near Rochester, there are plenty of decent business traveller motels along with fancier stuff closer to the city.

I'll stay in the garage, and yes I know that i have to take my shoes off!!
