Course Description: Our Force Focus Fundamentals course is a reality-based training evolution designed to introduce and train students in the physiological and psychological conditions experienced during a use of force encounter. This course utilizes Non-Lethal Training Ammunition and weapons to immerse the student in scenario based encounters that will provide stress-inoculation and increase both confidence and ability in the event of an actual use-of-force. This course allows students to use personal and instructed tactics and techniques with actual firearms that have been converted to fire the NLTA round against skilled role players that will test their cognitive abilities and weapon skills.
Because of the nature of live fire training, even against the most realistic targets, training artificialities still exist. With NLTA, all functionality of the weapon remains and only the lethality of live ammunition is removed. Students can expect this course to challenge their mental and physical abilities under stress and force split second decisions in the use of force. This is as close as you can get to an actual use of force in a training environment.

Real world safety
Weapon handling in and out of the home
