Philosophy:
There are two fundamental truisms that are essential to combat training
and that ESR employs as part of our training philosophy:
1) You WILL perform as you train.
2) Action beats re-action
ESR promotes pro-active training and awareness. This training emphasis allows for the Law Enforcement Professional to identify and neutralize a threat before the threat materializes into an actual assault action.
You work in an often chaotic, volitile environment, and you must have training that mimics the real world in order to maximize your combat readiness.
We have drawn from real world fighting systems and promote techniques that are based on gross motor skills, non-gender specific, real world tested, and take into the consideration the physiological and psychological effects of Combat Stress, on the human body.
