"Steel Sharpens Steel"

October 18,19,20

PHOENIX, ARIZONA


"As iron sharpens iron, So one person sharpens another." (Prov 27:17)

The journey of the protector can be a lonely path, yet it cannot be taken alone.  We must be guided, worked, and tested by others in our tribe, in close contact and under pressure... so that we may emerge stronger, smarter, and ready to swiftly exact our skill when we are called to the selfless protection of others, especially the innocent.

This event is an essential part of your journey. 
Get ready to be sharpened.

No Experience Required.  Beginners welcome.

Systema Training - Festival of Instructors with Special Guest VV

Join some of the highest-level instructors in the world as they explore the fundamentals of close protection, weapons defense, and resilience training.

Trauma Medicine and Open Wound Care with Jeff Hensley

This training is a MUST for every adult. Nearly 67% of traumatic deaths caused by bleeding could have been prevented with timely intervention. If you are trained and willing, YOU could be the difference. Most martial artists may have the ability to survive a knife or gun ambush only to bleed out minutes later. With Jeff, you will acquire the skills and the mindset necessary to ensure you and your loved ones make it home alive. Session 1: Life-saving skills to control hemorrhaging using traditional and improvised methods in a variety of challenging scenarios under the guidance of one of the most talented trainers in the industry, former Special Operations Medic, Jeff Hensley. You will come away with the ability to mitigate fatal hemorrhaging in all forms, apply correct pressure and pressure points, and apply pressure dressings and wound-packing technology, all under duress / real-world situations. Session 2: After the bleeding stops... Learn hands-on wound care management from assessment to cleaning, debridement, and closure (suturing). Recognize signs of infection and learn how to use antibiotics in a grid-down scenario. About Jeff: Former member of Army 12th Special Forces Group - Airborne (Green Beret). Former clinical instructor for Special Operations Medical Program where he trained SF Medics, AF Pararescue, and SEAL Corpsmen. Former medic for Sheriff SRT with Level 1 Trauma work. Currently a board certified CRNA and board certified in non-surgical pain management. Advanced firearms and tactics instructor. Lifelong martial artist, patriot, Christian, and family man.
