Hello all,

We sponsored a free EMS Defensive Tactics video course recently, thought you might be interested. It's basically about how to escape from a violent encounter, while still maintaining your EMS role. In the 14 years I was riding the back of the bus, it was something never taught to us with any seriousness. As we all know, people are much more likely to attack us now than ever before.

Anyway, let me know what you think. Honest feedback is important to us here, as it is with everything we do.

(Apparently I can't post a link... so: blauer dot com slash emsdefense)

Thanks,

Blauer

Sounds interesting. Whether or not it would be of any use is up in the air. But it's something I'd be willing to check out.

Of any use? Don't know about you but I don't exactly enjoy getting my *** beat.

Well, I have a pretty extensive martial arts back ground. So I'd be looking for something uniquely offered in the program.

Yeah, this is basically to give folks without much prior training some basic skills to help defend themselves without resorting to the more old-school "D-cylinder-to-the-face" mentality.

I always had a difficult time explaining why the patient had "Motorola" stamped on their forehead.

Its a good idea. I think it should be taught and practiced by all agencies. But, cheap skates now days don't care about you.

Right, we knew that most agencies and privates won't cover this, that's why we're giving the video series away for free. I'm asking people to share this for that reason, not because it benefits us.

I've really enjoyed the series, and I have learned a TON! Thank you so much for making this for free. We have been sharing it around our station.
