There is no mitigation plan superior to avoidance.
Given the complications and distractions of everyday life, situations can (and most often do) develop outside our scope of recognition.
By raising our level of awareness, we can  begin the mitigation process prior to “The Nefarity” ever actually occurring.
We achieve this by following a process known as OODAObserve, Orient, Decide, and Act.
 
What we teach:
    • How to be Aware Of Your Surroundings and Identify potential problems and/or threats
    • Be prepared to execute a Tactical Plan for each and every threat that presents itself
    • Learn the definition of OODA and all it entails and, through proper training, how to make it work to your advantage
    • Understand the Fight or Flight process and how it affects the CNS (Central Nervous System) and your physiology, both chemically and physically
    • Using Creative Visualization to enhance your ability to perform and yourself for any eventuality

I am 21 years and worked my way through college in a bar. We are what some people might consider upscale and trouble is a rarity but there were a couple of times that could have escalated dramatically if not for our manager being totally on his game. What I learned from the Black Iron Self Defense Seminar is to see past what one might consider “normal and usual” and become cognisant of what is “abnormal and unusual.” I love this training and look forward to future events that BISD sponsors.

I am 87 years old and very mobile. It wasn’t until I attended the Black Iron Self Defense Seminar that I realized all the things I had previously taken for granted. Situational awareness is now a priority with every step I take and every place I go. Given that most criminals target women and/or seniors as their primary victim, it all makes perfect sense.

I live out in the country north of DFW where you’d think that all the mess and shenanigans of the city would be far, far away…Not so much. I attended the seminar because I had, on different occasions, observed things that did not seem above board to me. This seminar TOTALLY opened my eyes to interactions I would have otherwise never noticed. I actually went out on my own and purchased some EDC (Every Day Carry) items for my family (wife and three daughters) for their personal protection and, when the next seminar comes around, I will make sure they are all there!
