Integrated Tactical Handgun™
Integrating unarmed combat with the tactical handgun

Integrated Tactical Handgun
Integrated force training provides the ability to interface the handgun with less-than-lethal force options in shoot, no-shoot encounters.

The situation is volatile. You've drawn your weapon, but at this moment, lethal force is not called for. You legally or morally cannot shoot, but you may have to fight. What do you do?

The truth is that, shooting someone in self-defense is a rare incident even for the police, but having to physically deal with, stop or deter an aggressor is much more common.

What do you do if you've drawn your weapon and cannot legally use it but the suspect still poses a potential threat? What happens if they stop their aggression only to explode on you with an attack cloaked in deception? Even if your decision is to fire in self-defense there is no guarantee that you will hit or stop your attacker. What other options do you have? Do you reholster? Can you strike and control the suspect with the weapon in your hand? What about sympathetic reflex actions? All these questions are answered in the Integrated Tactical Handgun™ course.

Integrated force training provides the ability to interface the handgun with less-than-lethal force options in shoot, no-shoot encounters. ITH teaches simple techniques needed to stop physical aggression (with or without) a firearm in hand and how to do it quickly and effectively. You'll learn how to deliver a blow that will knock an aggressor off his feet in a single move. How to defend against violent attack at close range and how to effectively overwhelm an attacker in seconds while maintaining control of your weapon. Utilizing a modification of the Shield Defense System™, Integrated Tactical Handgun™ instructs students in a simple, reality-based method of integrating force-on-force techniques with your combative firearm tactics.
