We believe self-defense is a diverse topic requiring many different skills. These specialized courses complement your training and serve our broader community.

Emergency Control The Bleed Course

Emergency Control The Bleed Course

Minutes count! Someone who is severely bleeding can bleed to death in as little as 3 minutes. The national first responder average response time in the USA is 7 minutes. These statistics show how important it is to have the knowledge to help yourself or someone else to attempt to control life threatening bleeding while help is on the way.

A severe bleed could be caused by common situations like vehicle accidents, a bad cut with a kitchen tool while preparing a meal, or an accident with tree cutting or yard working tools. In this world, unfortunately, we also have the risk of being a victim of violence such as knife attacks and active shooters.

What You'll Learn

Identify life threatening bleeding
Pressure & pack wounds properly
Apply tourniquets correctly
No medical background required
