Training for When Action Matters Most

HEIST is designed to be “stress inoculation training” which means that the goal is for participants learn to experience and manage their own acute stress response, in a safe, training setting.
In situations like ambushes, armed attacks, or violent incidents, you’ll need to be able to react in practical and productive way, in order to stay calm, take control, and protect yourself and others. This course builds that ability through hands-on training and high-pressure scenarios.

You’ll Walk Away With:

  • Functional defensive skills for real-world violence
  • A confident, measured response to high-pressure threats
  • The ability to lead, protect, and endure under extreme conditions
  • A hardened mindset to match your mission

The Training That Stays With You When It Matters Most

When violence erupts, there’s no room for hesitation.

The way you respond in those first critical seconds will shape the outcome for everyone involved.

This course prepares you to meet that moment with clarity, skill, and control.
