Hello all
I'm a new forum member. I don't work in the security industry, but I'm considering starting a business providing training to members of the security industry.
Here's the rest of the story.
I'm a lifelong karate practitioner (25 years) and have been doing jujutsu for about 8 years. I recently organized a reality based self defense/combatives seminar (specifically covering some techniques/training methods from Commando Krav Maga).
I expected members of the martial arts community to flock to the event. They didn't. Instead, I got alot of interest from local law enforcement and at least one security company. That prompted me to contact other security companies who were also interested.
In talking with one of these company's regional manager, I was told that there is a great deal of information about close quarters fighting, disarming suspects of various weapons, etc but few people to present it.
Is this true?
I have an opportunity to take additional training from the man who presented the Commando Krav Maga seminar. If I don't train with him, I have contacts in other reality based self defense/combatives orgs thru which I can get training.
Regardless of who I train with, its going to be expensive. In order for me to pay for this, I'd have to be reasonably sure there is a market for this information. Is there? Do you folks working in private security have access to the training you want or do you find the training non existant or lacking? What kind of stuff are you interested in? I've got some suspiscions, but I want to hear it from you folks. What RBSD training orgs are recognized and respected in the industry? Do you have need of periodic training or do you need a place to regularly practice on your own time?
