The biggest threat.

At Masada Tactical we spend all our time developing skills and lesson plans to make sure our members and other contracting agencies are safe.  Whatever your occupation, physical abilities and/or your goals, we make sure that the skills we teach you, in some shape or form, make you safer, healthier, and better prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

Our curriculum includes skills that have been proven to work, and are further enhanced by skills we develop in-house to meet the specific needs and questions of various individuals.  For example, about a year ago a correctional officer from Western MD asked us how to address a specific hostage situation that cost the life of another officer.  It is a high risk situation, but one our staff of instructors was able to come up with a solution for.  This technique is now taught to SWAT and SOG groups around the country.

Often times, the skills we develop are the natural evolution of previous skills.  The instructor meet, evaluate the curriculum, identify weak parts, and work to make it better, more effective, and yet retain the basic ideologies of our system in terms of ease of use and retention of skills.  But, at the end of the day, the skills we develop are based off of what we think is needed, and not always what our members need.  So, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you: What do you want to see? learn? master?  Are there any threats you foresee as being the most critical for you and therefore would like to know how to address?

Let us know so we can address that, because ultimately, if your needs are not addressed, it really doesn't matter what skills we develop, if you as the potential end user do not see the value in them.
