OFFICIAL PDR TEAM 6-8 HOUR OFFICIAL PDR TEAM 6-8 HOUR BASIC COURSE TEMPLATEBASIC COURSE TEMPLATE

This template is designed for an intro level exposure to PDR. While it is designed for 6-8 hours, the depth of information covered will ultimately determine it's length. It could easily be expanded for a longer course. A 6-8 hour course should cover only the subject matter necessary for the end user to leave empowered, and with a basic understanding and successful experience of the fundamental drills. Save the more in depth substance matter discussions for intermediate/advanced students and/or longer courses.

For slides with video, you will have to insert them into the slides yourself (the video has to be on the computer you are using to show the PPT). If you are not up to the task or are not using a computer, burn the videos/photos to a DVD and show them to the class in that manner.

There are optional slides (indicated by yellow titles) that should only be covered if time permits.

There are instructor notes on most slides that you can print out and review. It is not necessary to cover all of the notes in you presentations, however the critical fundamental notes should always be covered. In depth notes on the drills are in the "Drill Description Manual". Continued next slide

If you are not already familiar with Power Point, get familiar with it as it is an efficient tool for organizing courses and presentations. It has several different ways for viewing slides on your computer, creating animations for slides, printing handouts and it even allows you to export the slides, notes or both to Word to create a handy instructor course manual.

You may reorganize slides if necessary and print them as handouts for your courses, but the instructor notes are not for public consumption. Note: there is no animation included in the PPT…you may add it if you like.

Any handouts you give to students to have the footer below printed on them.----

SAFETY WARNINGREAD BEFORE YOU START THIS COURSE OR USE THIS MANUAL

The techniques, tools, tactics and concepts described in our courses, videos, manuals and audio's are to be used for legitimate purposes only, in appropriate combat, law enforcement or self-defense situations.

Do not depend on any video, audio or manual for your safety. Your safety depends upon you and your ability to avoid, defuse and/or control confrontations. Your safety depends on your judgment during all confrontations.

If you are a beginner, seek the guidance of an experienced trainer. If you are a trainer make sure you and your students fully understand the legal and moral implications of practicing and using self-defense, protective or combative tactics in your country, state, province, city and so on.

This material is presented for educational purposes ONLY. VOLENTI NON FIT INJURIA. When you agree to learn, study or practice any marital art, combative or defensive tactics system you are “consenting to participate”. When you train in any martial art system, combative or defensive tactics system, there is an ‘assumption of risk’, especially those systems geared towards realistic street protection. Practice, train and use this information at your OWN RISK. Practice safely. Seek competent instruction. Seek competent counsel on use of force matters for your safety based on your lifestyle and or occupation.

If you misinterpret a concept expressed in our seminars, manuals, videos or audios you could be seriously injured or killed as a result of the misunderstanding. Therefore the information contained in our courses, videos, manual and audios should be used as a supplement to competent personal instruction, diligent practice, personal evaluation and then balanced with the moral & legal application of any protective tactic.

dealt with through avoidance and de-escalation tactics. The other 3% are our most dangerous opponents; those that are willing to harm and/or kill to achieve their goals.
