Professional Defensive Tactics Education

  • Law Enforcement

    Defensive Tactics Education at Shaan Saar is an evidence based modality for the professionals with busy schedules.

    We offer flexible scheduling for private group education for any size department and on-site group classes are available 4-days a week. Our private, secure locations offer anonymity. We respect your privacy and level of comfortability and never allow drop-ins or observers to group classes.

    Building individual resilience and psychological flexibility carries into the field and helps manage the everyday stress and situational exposures of the most demanding professions. These key factors help us to excel and master every area of our lives.

  • Evidence Based Education

    With over 70 collective years in the United States Military and the US Threat and Countermeasures National Nuclear Administration, along with multiple combat tours, federal law enforcement service, and Israeli Trained Krav Maga CQB, Counter Terror, and Criminal Behavior Analysis education, we possess an intimate understanding of close quarters threat management, weapon retention, and professional violence mitigation.

    As any seasoned professional knows, our dedication is to what is effective in the field, on patrol, and in real-life scenarios. And we've staked our lives on it. Our evidence-based practice goes even deeper, with education in biomechanics, military science, and biopsychology providing us with advantages that offenders don't utilize. We'll keep you in the loop with regular updates, examine new concepts, identify and eliminate flaws, all so you have access to the most up-to-date education available.

    Our multi-faceted, trademarked program includes ground work, close quarters standing, weapons retention, judgment training, and neuropsychological management for improved stress response.

    There's what everyone else is doing and then there's the Shaan Saar Group – a professional edge with a legacy of protection.

  • Private Security

    Large corporate firms offering D & G Security licensing often operate with extensive bureaucracy, leading to infrequent updates in field training which make most concepts obsolete. To meet the needs of professionals requiring the most current educational concepts in close quarters threat management, we offer comprehensive private format education models, tailored to your schedule. Take the first step with a customized Discovery Session call or text for your particular field, learning objectives and work schedule. For further inquiries, don't hesitate to call or text.

About Your Discovery Session

This discovery session is mandatory for anyone looking to enter our Krav Maga or Evidence Based Self-Defense™ program. We will assess your learning style and stress response to find the best program for you. This session offers a framework for understanding the physical concepts underlying our methodology. We'll cover use of force in relation to Florida state law, and delve into the psychological perspectives surrounding violence prevention and personal safety. For LEO or security professionals, feel free to bring your gear and address specific aspects of defensive tactics, arrest and control, or weapon retention.
