PREREQUISITE

Courses are designed for all levels, ranging from beginners to professionals. Although the system is not an army boot camp, there are similarities to a boot camp with long training hours and a focus on hands-on training. There are no specific prerequisites. But it is highly recommended that students arrive in reasonably good shape to maximize their performance, primarily with a strong mindset and willingness to work hard. Courses require extensive physical activity at the range, Live Fire Shoot House Exercises, and daily Hand-to-Hand Combat.

METHODS

We believe that practice makes perfect. That’s why we focus our training on repeated hands-on field exercises. Including room clearing in a CQB city, tactical training, hand-to-hand combat krav maga academics combined with live fire, vehicle exercises, and evacuation drills. With zero classroom time. There’s no better way for students to progress and gain confidence than solving problems and dealing with situations under pressure, like in tier-one units. The training is designed to open executive protection job opportunities for you.

We will not waste your time and money by watching videos or with power point slides - all training at the Israeli Tactical School is hands-on. Students will perform live-fire room clearing C.Q.B., live-fire exercises from a car, live-fire teamwork and room clearing, rifle and pistol transition, under-cover work, vehicle, and motorcade extraction, VIP exercises, and much, much more.

From our professional experience, power points and videos do not effectively teach students physical skills that will allow them to deal with real-life emergencies properly.

Mental and communicative skills are also grown through street exercises and assignments with real people and role players. These provide immediate feedback on how students can improve the techniques that will make them more valuable in the job market.

The footage is an invaluable asset. Employers are no longer hiring simply off your resume; they want (and should be able) to SEE your skills. After leaving our course, you can provide potential employers with videos like the one below. Most Executive Protection schools use simulation and won’t let you use actual live fire, much less with another person in a room clearing and motorcade environment. Videos of you performing hand-to-hand. Live fire from actual vehicles. If you were hiring someone to protect you and your family’s life, would you instead hire someone who has only trained with fake bullets and fake stationary cars or someone who has experience with the real deal?

In this course, we assist and encourage students to take videos for precisely that reason- to convince future employers to hire them. These videos also allow debriefing and growth after exercises - nothing is hidden in the Israeli Tactical School- what you see is what you get.
