Condition Yellow
What’s better than physical self defense skills? The ability to understand and better see the environment around you.
In the SRST Condition Yellow Course you will learn to recognize pre-assault indicators (rituals that criminals do prior to an attack)!
Most of us will go through our day doing the same thing at the same time and all the while being very predictable.
Criminals and terrorists want an easy target. When you are predictable, you are considered an easy target and let's face it, an easy victim.
Join for a 2 hour seminar on how to evaluate your surroundings, understand when and where you are most vulnerable and how to prepare yourself physically and mentally to become a less attractive victim.
This seminar will be packed with valuable information that you can use immediately to keep you and your loved ones safe in any environment.
Citizen Security Course
Imagine being able to travel free from stress and fear, enjoy an evening out at a nice restaurant, or even something as simple as going grocery shopping.
Unfortunately, in the world we live in today there are predators out there that would have no problem taking your money, car or anything else that’s valuable.
Now imagine being able to recognize something that doesn’t look right and know you have the situational awareness, skill and confidence to avoid it before it becomes a problem.
What you will learn in the Citizen Security Course is how to manage fear, how to make quick decisions under stress, the startle principle and what happens to you psychologically and physiologically, how to understand where you are most vulnerable and to effectively create plans that will give you an advantage. You will also learn different ways to make an improvised self defense tool.
This is a 3 hour course that includes scenarios with live role players. You will learn how to identify a threat and options you have to keep yourself from becoming a victim. There is no physical contact in this course.
This course is about giving you peace of mind and recognizing and avoiding a confrontation so you can enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
Street Combatives
Do you have the skills and training necessary to be able to prevail in a life threatening violent encounter?
The SRST Street Combatives course is an all day class for anyone that wants to get a real world understanding of how a violent confrontation occurs and what to do about it. You will learn ways to identify threatening behavior in order to avoid it or stop it.
This is not just another self defense class where everything is choreographed. You will train with live-action by using reality-based scenarios. You will understand how to make split second life saving decisions under stress.
This course is about teaching proper mindset as well as being able to recognize pre assault indicators before an attack happens. You will be instructed on how to build explosiveness in your strikes, learn increased power development as well as individual combatives technique.
Unlike other courses that teach “another tool in the tool bag” we limit the techniques to cut down reaction time (Hicks law). We believe in the one tool to fit every scenario.
You will be taught combative principles, how to increase power generation, strike with empty hands, elbows, knees and use low line kicks. Situational Self Offense techniques that solve common attacks are presented so that you will learn how to explosively reverse the confrontation dynamics (turning predator to prey).
You will also walk away empowered with confidence and see things with a "different set of eyes". We stress and believe in recognizing an attack before it happens and then avoiding the situation, however if avoidance is not an option the student will have the proper mindset and technique to stop an attack before it starts.

The training is accomplished in a controlled environment and allows you to make mistakes while learning how to overcome them. We use air guns that shoot rubber pellets. Evryone wears the appropriate safety gear because safety is our number one concern.
This is an all day course. We start the course with a lecture on fear, the effects of fear and how to manage it. The rest of the day is spent on scenarios where you will have to make decisions to use or not to use deadly force. You will interact with a live roleplayer(s).
Force on Force training allows you to train in live-action reality-based scenarios using real people and real action. Your mind, body and skills will be put to the test.
This class is not a paintball free for all course. This is a course where you will find out how you react under stress. The stress is you having to decide what is the best course of action for a given scenario. We don't do burpees or jumping jacks to get your heart rate up. We provide you with an unknown that you have to figure out sometimes in seconds.
This type of training is the highest level of military or law enforcement training because you have to be able to assess a situation, make a decision and implement that decision in real time.

Emergency Planning and Preparation
Kidnap Prevention
In today’s world there are news reports everyday of kidnappings, attempted kidnappings, human trafficking etc. We at SRST have developed a course on how to prevent this from happening to you and your family.
This is not a self defense course where we try to teach a 10 year old how to defeat a grown man. This is more about having the proper mindset in order to see a threat before it happens, learning where you and/or your family are most vulnerable and making yourself a difficult or unattractive target.
The SRST Kidnap Prevention course will teach you why and how criminals choose their next victim and how you can make yourself less attractive as a possible victim.
in this course you will learn how criminals think and plan for their next victim, what certain behaviors and rituals look like while they are targeting their next victim and why they choose certain places or areas to commit their heinous act.
You and your child will also learn what “right” looks like so you’ll both be able to spot “wrong” when either of you see it.
You and your child will learn what to do during the worse case scenario of someone actually grabbing your child a running away, it’s a team event.
Some basic self defense techniques will be shown to both you and your child, it’s all common sense stuff designed to be learned in a minutes.
You will understand the “pro-active” mindset that will keep you on the offense and not the defense by learning how fear interferes with the most basics of decision making.
We will also discuss what your actions should be in order to survive and possibly escape should you become a kidnap victim.
Again, this is not a fighting course, however there will be some very basic techniques that anyone can do, this is a course on how to be proactive and safe to prevent becoming a kidnapping victim or a victim in general.
The 2 most things heard by law enforcement when they are interviewing a victim “I never saw it coming” and “I never thought it would happen to me”.
