‘THE BODY CAN’T GO WHERE THE MIND HAS NEVER BEEN!’

P a g e | 2 The IPA-DTG is a subsidiary of the International Police Association. It is a non-profit making organisation whose members are serving and retired members of the law enforcement community, military and other individuals who have a particular interest in the subjects surrounding Reality Based Self-Defence and street survival training. All the instructors are volunteers and training is provided by the instructors for free. This is because they believe in making life safer for officers. Any money taken is for administration and expenses of running courses only. Our main goal is to establish contact with police/law enforcement & military organisations and individuals interested in exchanging and developing the ideas and methods about realistic unarmed/armed/firearms combat, arresting and defensive tactics for officers. We do not represent any federal, state, law enforcement agency or branch of the Armed Forces of any country and are a non-profit organisation. It is supported by Robert Stenhouse, Tim Taylor, Keith Sinclair, Martin Cooper and Richard Dean.

To attend, please email Rob Stenhouse at Robert.stenhouse@sky.com SATURDAY Explosive Self Defense Systems Level 1 or Level 2 or Level 3 Rob Stenhouse and Martin Cooper This is the signature system of the IPA-DTG. It’s where we started and it’s what brought us together. Simple and very effective, using natural body movements that anyone can master in a very short period of time. It is so simple it is likely to be drawn upon when under attack. Because of this simplicity, it is not easily forgotten and is equally easy to refresh. Ideal for firearms officers, women, non-combatives, in fact everyone! This course will certificate practioners in either level 1 or for those that attended the previous course level 2 or level 3, essential if you wish to proceed to Instructor level. Spontaneous Knife Defence – Basic and Intermediate Keith Sinclair Bringing home, the realities of knife attacks and exploring the positive actions you can take. Very interactive, essential training. This will either be at the basic level for new attendees or intermediate for those who attended previous courses.

P a g e | 3 Engaging with Violent Threats Richard Dean This is two short courses consisting of two topics. Session 1 - Short cuts for pre-emptive striking. When where and how to switch ON and OFF your ability to use violence when faced with a threat or potential threat. Emergency Response Belt Kit for Vulnerable People (See Attachment) The usual drinks and networking opportunity on Saturday evening at the local pub. SUNDAY Active Shooter - Knife Defence – Basic and Intermediate levels Rob Stenhouse Though Keith is teaching the response to a spontaneous attack by a random knife attacker. This course seeks to deal with a person whose prepared themselves for a killing spree. Possibly with two knives and trained to go for vital organs. What weapons do you hold, what weapons can you use? Also, a bit of research and development for a specific attack. Obviously, a huge topic so this will tie in with the active shooter response course below. This will either be at the basic level for new attendees or intermediate for those who attended previous courses. Engaging with Violent Threats - 2 Richard Dean Session 2 - Developing situational awareness, buying yourself time. As we all know, the key to all self-defence is situational awareness ‘Keeping left of bang’ will keep you, your colleagues, friends, and family safe. If you can see it before it happens you can avoid it in the first place or take appropriate action. Active Shooter Response Training Team We have all heard about the active shooter attacks going on world-wide and recently in the UK. As an emergency responder, have you questioned what you can do about it? On or off duty, it may happen to you OR you are the person who has to do something about it! Whether that is similar to the hero’s on the Paris train who took on the killer or feeding information to responders, triaging casualties or just helping to save yourself, family or friends. This course has been put together to start giving you some options other than just RUN, HIDE and TELL! Not only will you explore what immediate actions to take but also essential trauma first aid (catastrophic bleeding). Accommodation: TBC Dress: Training: Loose training clothing, this can be jeans, tee-shirts, boots, track suit and trainers, combats, police clothing, whatever you wish. You’ll get hot sweaty and dirty at times so not your Sunday best.

International Police Defensive Tactics Association

The International Police Defensive Tactics Association (IPDTA) is the partner organisation to the International Police Association – Defensive Tactics Group (IPA – DTG). The main difference is that it can be accessed by none police officers but can access many of the benefits offered to the IPA-DTG.

Founded by Slavo Gozdzik, a serving Swedish Police Officer, in early 2000, the IPDTA is a non-profit making organisation and its main goal is to establish contact with Law Enforcement, military, Emergency Services and trusted civilians, who see the need to make themselves safe in these troubled times and to exchange and develop methods relating to Personal Safety and realistic unarmed and armed self protection.

The IPDTA's ethos is “maximum skills in the shortest possible time" and the system has the ESDS (Explosive Self Defence System) as its core component.

The Chief Instructor of the IPDTA in the UK is Martin Cooper who is also the Chairperson of the IPA-DTG.

The Explosive Self Defence System (ESDS) is a simple method of protecting yourself, based solely on human behaviour. It is easily learned and easily retained and easily recalled in the adrenaline charged turmoil of a real confrontation. Our methods enable people of all ages and sizes to learn how to defend themselves.

The goal of all our training is to give an average student maximum combat skills in the shortest possible time. Our methods have been taught to many police forces and civilian groups in the UK and around Europe.

Benefits will include:

• IPA-DTG and IPDTA courses at drastically reduced prices; • Assistance with IMAS Degree qualifications; • Enrolment to the ESDS programme; • Networking opportunities; • Access to the members library;

Access to the group is by invitation only and costs a one off donation to the IPA-DTG of just £50 for lifetime membership.
