Thanks for the props all. Thing is, when it comes to the subject of EMS Self-Defense...... we have done the research, continue to do the research and now have tons of big names in EMS believing in "what" we are teaching. Once people have taken our training, regardless of their previous...

DT4EMS’ EVE Instructor Course December 3-7, 2012 Branson Fire Department Station #1 Branson, Missouri The DT4EMS/ EVE Instructor Course is a “Doctor Approved”, medically directed 40-hour course. It is both physically and mentally demanding. We strongly suggest candidates evaluate their...

After seeing some stuff about Start Some Good on the news, I thought I would check it out. My campaign is now live on StartSomeGood! Check it out, share the link around with your friends and contribute if you can so I can start some good. My idea is to be able to get businesses to sponsor...

RAPE CHOKE Rear Naked (AKA Vascular Neck Restraint, Blood Choke)

As always you have brilliant insight. Let me point out a couple of things though...... it has been proven without use of force training, people will respond with primal motions. In other words...... like a caveman. This comes from decades of research (not mine) in the law enforcement arena...

You are 100% correct. I emailed the attorney who wrote the blog. I am hoping to get some insight and maybe shed some light on the issue as a whole.

Mental Preparation is as important as any physical skill you may possess. EVE trains 4 specific areas (hence the 4 in our name) Mental, Street, Media and Courtroom. I am not stating the provider here is guilty of criminal activity. I am using this as a training tool. Here are some things to...

In a word....... Yes.

Give EMS the same "level" of training, all the other "protection" options and I am in. The training can't be the "same" because the desired outcome is different. Otherwise:

Again, If one reads both articles I posted. You would see I am opposed UNTIL the EMSer gets the exact training an officer MUST have to carry a gun ON-DUTY. I'm sorry.......but an 8-hour concealed class does not meet that level of training.

Here is an article that just came out in Dayton Ohio. I was interviewed for it. http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/news/some-fearful-emts-want-guns-for-protection/nR933/ Now, to read more as to "why" I take the stance I do regarding arming of EMS, you can read the recent article Skip...

Good Customer Service A tactic for scene safety © 2006 DT4EMS L.L.C. I was sitting in the ambulance base after teaching DT4EMS a class not too long ago, when a medic began to tell me about how he controlled an “uncooperative drunk”. This seasoned medic began to describe how he placed his...

Beautifully put! I have said it a hundred times........ Good Customer Service IS a scene safety "tactic".

We now keep the juicer as a back-up just in case :) I am telling ya...... we put everything in the NutriBullet (almonds, pumpkin seeds, seeded grapes etc) it works just as described on TV. This morning I made one with oranges, grapes, banana, strawberries, almonds, blueberries and carrots...

Thanks. I second that. We actually spend the majority of our time learning to de-escalate, prevent and avoid conflict. The physical stuff we teach was for if everything else failed. This is why we have the backing of two different state EMS associations and dozens of agencies now teaching our...

Ha! Yeah, I got that. I was just worried about this switching to an arming EMS thread :)

Oh boy..........

Ha! Kinda........... but now that I'm married...... I don't have to do that anymore. Bwahahahaha! And Mycrofft :) You silly thing :)

Thank you. Yup, rattan is super strong. I have wore out (snapped) wooden sticks and rattan would keep going. With sparring, the rattan will leave welts and such, but normally wont break your buddy's arm. It will however break fingers....... Since we are always seeking the "defensive" side of...

I use Rattan. Here is a pic of some "pressure testing" We just seek the truth.... not trying to be tough guys or claim that we can beat anyone up. The idea is to see what works "more often than not". Obviously this is not the stuff we share with EMS :) But the principles we gain from...
