Why Work with ITTC for Close Quarter Defense Training?

We Focus on Prevention and De-escalation First

We prioritize preventative measures and de-escalation techniques, placing hands-on tactics as a secondary option. Other programs can be more law enforcement-based, focusing on what to do when situations go completely wrong, and self-defense becomes necessary. While our programs ensure our trainees exhaust all nonviolent options first, to keep themselves and their colleagues safe. We emphasize that non-escalation tactics be employed when interacting with a challenging individual, but other programs only offer tactics after a situation becomes unmanageable.

We Have Niche Experience in Healthcare, Hospital, and Office Settings

We have been exclusively dedicated to the hospital, healthcare, and office workers, tailoring our training to relevant experiences. Other programs provide more generic training that may not be as relevant to the unique challenges faced in hospital and office settings.

We Have Field Experience

Our trainers include martial artists, law enforcement officers, and hospital/healthcare staff, ensuring up-to-date and practical training methods. We employ trainers and workers who understand how our training would work in the real world. Healthcare facilities have unique workplace safety needs that our staff has previous experience in or has been extensively trained in. We also offer active shooter response training, de-escalation to safe state courses, and more, from experienced trainers in the field.
