The Best of the Best. The
last few decades have produced more advances in use-of-force
training than any other period in history. In search of
excellence, OPS instructors have graduated literally dozens
of courses from our colleagues, and continue to train out
each year. We also regularly attend and present at professional
conferences held by the public sector and private sector
training communities. For this reason, we have a superior
understanding of the current state-of-the-art. Through an
ongoing process of analysis and syntheses, OPS combines
the best of the best into a synergistic whole that is much
greater than the sum of its parts. Our system reflects very
latest techniques, tactics, and teaching methods available.
The all-too-common “Not Invented Here Syndrome”
is conspicuous only by its absence!
The Ultimate Weapon. Author
John Steinbeck once noted “The final weapon is the
brain. All else is supplemental.” In any situation,
the actions you take begin with your thoughts. OPS teaches
not only skills and tactics, but the mindset required to
apply them in the real world. Our clients learn the principles
required for real time performance in the chaos of conflict,
as opposed to rote solutions that often fail when “Plan
A” doesn’t work. The goal is a client with the
ability to think on his or her feet under high stress, with
a commensurate ability to execute the appropriate actions
at the level of reflex.
Evolutionary and Revolutionary.
Our curriculum is continually improved
according to the principle of “absorb what is useful,
discard what is useless, and add what is uniquely your own.”
While honoring and incorporating time-tested tactics and
techniques, we also are not slaves to tradition. The cutting
edge is a moving target, and OPS actively tracks this goal
and adjusts our course syllabi accordingly after due deliberation.
The result is an optimum blend of old and new that exceeds
anything that has come before.
Integrated Options. An
old adage holds, “When all you have is a hammer, every
problem looks like a nail.” Traditional “gun
centric” programs ignore the physical and legal realities
of extreme close quarters interpersonal violence. In stark
contrast, the OPS staff has an in-depth and diverse understanding
of both combat shooting and practical unarmed combat, rare
even among our peers in the Tier One training community.
As a result of this unique eclecticism, OPS acclaimed firearms
curriculum combines seamlessly with effective, applicable
techniques and tactics at all levels of the force continuum.
A Commitment to Coaching. OPS
instructors do much more than simply lecture and run range
drills. We are committed to maximizing the gains you make
in your physical motor skills (e.g., combat marksmanship,
tactical gun handling, hand-to-hand combat, etc.) in the
time available. More importantly, OPS will assist you in
developing the critical mental attributes of tactical thinking
skills and a warrior’s mindset. Attention to detail,
constructive feedback, a personalized approach, and the
latest adult learning concepts combine with our superior
curriculum to produce a truly World Class training experience.
Street Smart? Yes! Macho? No!
At OPS we focus on practical techniques
designed to give you the advantage in the harsh reality
of a life and death confrontation. However, we realize that
training a diverse client base requires a thoughtful and
supportive attitude completely different that that found
in some military and law enforcement training. Whatever
your background or level of experience, you will learn a
great deal during OPS training. Equally important, you will
enjoy the time you spend with us in the classroom and/or
on the range.
