Ed's Manifesto: 1-Day Organic Medium Entry – Chase, MI

This module explores the subject matter of non-permissive environments and the weapons of opportunity that can be improvised, concealed and used in high risk situations.

Using case studies to reverse-engineer criminal methodologies involving weapons, the Weaponology Module focuses on the evidence-based employment of austere, environmentally sourced offensive tools.

Designed for both government and civilian personnel that travel abroad and may have a need to create their own defensive options, this module not only focuses on fabrication and employment but also the frequently overlooked and rarely taught aspects of concealment and the “smugglers mindset” based on criminal modus operandi from around the world.

This is designed to be an add-on series of skillsets for anyone with an existing combatives base or as an introduction to working in austere weapons-based environments.

Student Gear Requirements:

– Note taking materials
– Water and snacks for a full day class
– Any blade you’d like to test out
– Recommendation: wear clothing you don’t mind getting dirty (just in case).
