Training Method
The JustForce Training Center teaches various aspects of Tactical Survivability, all connected to and interdependent from a central Method, which goes by the name of TPS (Tactical Protective System®) and it branches out to provide sure solutions to the tactical problems inbred in each defensive, protective or operational endeavour.
TPS id derived from Senso-Do, a Fighting System devised in 1988 by Tony Zanti. Senso-Do represents perhaps one of the first attempts to 'martialize' Combat Shooting, and it combines armed and unarmed Defense. Unlike other similar systems, Senso-Do does not put the weapon into the hands of the accomplished martial artist, instead it does the opposite, making the Operator go through the necessarily smart motions that resemble a martial art, without mimicking any of the traditional martial arts.
The TPS Method, however more representative of our Western Culture, is primarily based on Ergonomics, which regulates the relationship between the Operator and the Equipment, the Weaponry, the Tactical Environment, and the Armed Target. All Techniques taught by the JustForce Training Center adhere to the REMS Principle (Reactivity, Ergonomics, Mobility, Safety): only those Techniques that meet the above mentioned qualities, are included in the Method, while others are discarded.
TPS comprehends
- DCS (Dynamic Combat Shooting®). The Student/Operator is taught the dynamics of Survival Shooting, using the pistol, the shotgun, the battle rifle and the submachine gun (where available/allowed).
- DCT (Dynamic Combat Training™). The Student/Operator learns to defend himself by using his own body' natural weapons and LTL (Less Than Lethal) weapons: O.C. dispensers and tactical baton.
- TCP (Tactical Close Protection™). This Method encloses the best of both Defensive and Protective Tactics, following the Dynamic Combat Shooting® and the Dynamic Combat Training™ guidelines.
- MPT (Modern Police Techniques™). It brings disarming common sense to hieratic Police Doctrine, as shown in the debated book "Close Range Survival Shooting" by Tony Zanti, considered unorthodox, hence undesirable by most Police 'Experts'.
- UCS (Urban Combat Survival™). A direct descendent from the Special Forces Advanced Urban Combat, it offers unedited and innovative solutions to the tactical problems connected with MOUT/ FIBUA
Each and all of the above subsystems utilize the same basic principles that permeates TPS, characterized by the same shared effectiveness, intended to minimize contingent risks and maximize Survival: the final goal any Tactical Training Program should attain!
