Active Shooter/Active Killer Seminar (Sunday 9th March 10:00 - 11:30 AM)
This Active Shooter/Active Killer seminar is for adults aged 18+ of any experience level.
Whilst statistically active shooter incidents aren’t common events, recent FBI data indicates that in the US they are on the rise. However, whilst not as commonplace as other types of violent crime e.g., street robberies, common assaults etc., they are events that can have extreme consequences. This is why it is worth spending some time to understand what it is that active shooters are trying to achieve and how they go about committing their offenses, along with straightforward solutions that can be used to survive such incidents.
On Sunday 9th March between 10:00 and 11:30 AM, Krav Maga Yashir Boston Head Instructor, Gershon Ben Keren will be putting on a 90-minute seminar, on how to deal with active shooters. The solutions which will be presented (and practiced) are those that were developed in Israel in the early 1990’s during the first intifada, to deal with both active shooters and active killers i.e., those who go on rampage killing sprees, with other weapons such as knives. Gershon has been teaching and practicing these proven and effective solutions for nearly thirty years.
He is also the author of the Amazon best-seller, “Krav Maga – Extreme Survival”, which looks at Active Shooter/Killer solutions; those attending this seminar will receive a copy of this book. The book is the result of an in-depth study – from a criminological perspective - of 146 incidents, looking at both the commonalities and differences between different types of shootings e.g., how do workplace shootings differ from school shootings, what are the similarities and commonalities between those committed by terrorists and those committed by members of the public etc. By understanding that not all active shooter incidents are the same, a contextual approach and response to dealing with them can be developed.
This seminar is not presented in a sensationalized way e.g., instructors firing blanks won’t suddenly invade the training environment, to simulate an actual event etc. This is a physical seminar that does involves contact, however all the drills practiced will be carried out in a safe and controlled manner. Attendees should wear training/workout clothes without zips, rivets or anything that could possibly cut and/or cause injury and be prepared to train barefoot (we train on Olympic quality Judo mats).
The cost for this seminar is $125, which includes a copy of the book, “Krav Maga – Extreme Survival” (which details some of the solutions which will be taught at this seminar). It will take place at the following location (there is ample on-site parking):
