THE HARDENED TARGET SYSTEM
A Personal Protection System
The Hardened Target Personal Protection System is based on your legal rights, and your duty and responsibility to yourself and your family. The HT instructional template is based on methods that have proven effective in teaching officer survival. It makes use of a persons’ natural response to stress, body mechanics, and power development and most importantly, the techniques and tactics are limited to what is easy to learn, retain, and effectively perform by the average person under stress, and under the conditions they’re likely to be used. Unarmed striking, ground tactics, O.C. (pepper spray), impact, edged, and improvised weapons along with basic firearms training and tactics are all part of the Hardened Target curriculum.
WHY THE HARDENED TARGET SYSTEM?
Easily learned and retained by the average person, easily performed under conditions of high stress and in different environments, with a hich and proven success rate.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
YOUR RIGHT AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Unlike many so called "Self Defense" programs, the HT system will teach you that you have a right to defend yourself but you have the responsibility to do so.
LEARN TECHNIQUES THAT ARE EASY AND EFFECTIVE
Easily learned and retained by the average person, easily performed under conditions of high stress and in different environments, with a hich and proven success rate.
PROVIDE AN INSTRUCTIONAL TEMPLATE
Provide an instructional template that leads people to develop strong techniques, combinations that make use of natural movement, able to perform these combinations in the air – on pads and on padded people, stationary – moving and under increasing pressure – to “program in” an emotional response, until the person is able to disregard planned combinations and just hit with physical and emotional intensity from different positions and angles with one purpose – to stop the threat.
