New Curriculum: Active Shooter Expert

Be A Resource To Your Local Schools Concerning Active Shooters

See below for more information about this special program just for martial arts school owners

On average, it takes law enforcement 26 minutes to respond to and end an active shooter situation. With shooters able to get off 40 rounds per minute, campus personnel need to know the necessary steps to take during the time they are on their own.

Every K-12 school must prepare for an attack by an active shooter and must know how to respond should an attack occur.

The Martial Arts Marketing Network has teamed up with US Fighting Systems and Vistelar to offer the Campus Safety: Strategies for Surviving an Active Shooter program. Developed by US Fighting Systems in conjunction with Vistelar this course offers comprehensive training programs that address active shooter preparedness and response.

US Fighting Systems is taught by Dave Young, an internationally recognized defensive tactics trainer who has been teaching police, corrections, and military professionals for over 30 years. He offers 70 professional training courses to public safety professionals throughout the world, and has been featured in People Magazine and on CNN. Vistelar is the world-leader in conflict management with over 30 years of on-the-street experience.

This course is designed for anyone who spends some part of their day within a campus environment, making it perfect for martial arts school owners, their instructors, students, and students’ parents.

There are other active-shooter programs, but we’ve identified a huge gap in the training that’s available. It’s nearly impossible to get everyone trained – both initially and over time.

The time, cost, and logistics required to train everyone for an active shooter scenario makes initial training and ongoing training difficult. To ensure that everyone can be trained, the Campus Safety program offers live training and on-demand training. Individuals can access this course from any Internet-connected device.

The goal of the online program is to enable everyone to get this much needed training – in a simple, fast, and affordable way – to increase the chance of surviving an active shooter attack.

With this “facilitator” program, school staff complete the online program first. Then the school-owner’s job is to deliver live training using the facilitator workbook (click to view the first two pages) to supervise activities and role-playing scenarios. By using a “blended” approach like this allows us to translate 30 years of real-world experience into a program from which school staff can learn what they need to know and that martial arts school owners can easily teach.

Dave Young, a Vistelar Director of Training, is the principle subject matter expert for this program. You can learn more about the origins of Vistelar’s tactical training programs here.

In developing this program, Vistelar drew upon Dave’s 25 + years as a professional trainer in the Marine Corps and for law enforcement, as well as the decades of combined experience of Vistelar’s other subject matter experts in conflict management.

Dave developed one of the first active shooter training programs for the Marine Corps in 1990. This course is the first time Dave’s expertise has been shared in an online program.

The content of this program is based on real-world experience, not academic theory (e.g., flawed strategies like “lock-down” are not discussed). And you’ll never see this training made easily accessible to potential attackers on sites like YouTube.
