Real World Self Defense and Law

PictureCajun Arms Firearms Training
We have updated, expanded and combined the topics of discussion from Real World Self Defense 1.5 and 2.0. We provide the student with techniques to develop a combat mindset and show you how to prepare for and survive a violent encounter. 
All of the training in the world is of little use if you cannot survive the emotional, physiological, and legal aftermath. Carrying a gun for self defense is a sound plan to protect yourself and your loved ones from a violent encounter but in today’s society you may not always have your gun with you. You may also be in a situation where you cannot use it or get to it. It is vital to know and understand how to defend yourself in such a situation as part of your self-defense plan.
A gun can be the “great equalizer” in a fight. The concepts you learn will tip the odds in your favor during a violent confrontation to either get away or deploy your own sidearm. 
  • Opportunity and Jeopardy
  • Hardware and concealed carry specifics
  • Visualization techniques & Mental Preparation
  • Avoidance and prevention
  • Planning your firearm training
  • Situational Awareness 
  • Volume of Fire
  • Anatomy of the attacker
  • Mindset
  • Dealing with the Aftermath 
  • Legal Considerations and representation

Stop the Bleed

Picture
Life-threatening emergencies can happen fast and emergency responders aren’t always nearby. 
You may be able to save a life by taking simple actions immediately. 
You Are the Help Until Help Arrives.
Blood loss is the leading cause of preventable death in multiple casualty events, like mass shootings, terrorist attacks, and earthquakes. Significant external bleeding can also result from everyday events such as a motorcycle crash, or an industrial accident. Rapid control of bleeding at the scene of the event can be life-saving.
That’s why the American College of Surgeons, FEMA, and the US Department of Homeland Security have partnered together to ensure that:
   • Bystanders have skills &knowledge to provide immediate bleeding control in an emergency.
   • Bleeding control supplies are located in all public gathering locations next to AEDs.
   • Bleeding control education is incorporated into our schools and workplace.
   • People know what to do in an active shooter situation.
Mass casualty events can happen anytime and anywhere. At your workplace, at the game, during your commute, or even at your house. Stop The Bleed training will equip participants with the knowledge to save lives.
 About The Course
This 2-hour training course teaches basic life-saving medical interventions, including a brief Active Shooter preparedness presentation and methods to control severe bleeding. Taught by experienced EMT's, paramedics, nurses, and combat medics, the course was developed in response to the call from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense to improve the chances of survival during an active shooter and other mass casualty events. In these circumstances, survival begins with bystanders.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
   • Understand the principles of your response during an active shooter event.
   • Describe the progressive strategy for controlling hemorrhage.
   • Demonstrate wound packing and learn about topical hemostatic dressings.
   • Explain the rationale for the early use of a tourniquet for life-threatening extremity bleeding.
   • Demonstrate the appropriate application of a tourniquet to the arm and leg.
This course is based on a curriculum developed by National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians and modified and taught by Center for Wilderness Safety.
Who Should Be Trained?
EVERYONE! Severe bleeding injuries can result from natural and man-made disasters and from everyday accidents, as well as from catastrophic and terrorist incidents. If left unmanaged, it can kill within minutes, potentially before trained responders can arrive. Bystanders who have been provided with basic tools and information on the simple steps they can take in an emergency situation to stop life-threatening bleeding can SAVE LIVES!
Research has shown that bystanders – even with very little medical training – can become heroic lifesavers. Similar to the success of CPR or the use of an AED, improving public awareness about how to stop severe bleeding and expanding both personal and public access to bleeding control kits can be the difference between life and death for an injured person.
 Who Can Take This Course?
EVERYONE! Learning to control bleeding is an essential skill that anyone can apply to save lives, just like CPR. In particular, these skills are important for non-tactical law enforcement, firefighters, security personnel, emergency coordinators, and teachers. In addition, we recommend that all workplaces, schools, and churches have multiple employees/members trained in bleeding control.


Real World Self Defense Clinic

Picture
Carrying a means for self defense is a sound concept to protect yourself and your loved ones from a violent encounter. In today’s society however, you may not always have your means with you or on you. You may also be in a situation where you cannot use it or get to it. It is vital to know and understand how to defend yourself in such a situation as part of your self-defense plan.
We keep the lessons simple and repeatable. Just as a self defense tool can be the “great equalizer” in a fight, the techniques you learn will also tip the odds in your favor during a violent confrontation to either get away or deploy your own additional protection. 

​Unlike many martial systems that require years of training and rely on speed, power, and a high level of fitness, we teach you how to use your body’s natural motion to create motor dysfunction of your attacker. These techniques work regardless of your age, size, or fitness level. One hour lecture, 1 hour workshop.
