Are you equipped to teach your students about the realities of self defence? Do you want to gain an insight into what’s really required to defend yourself against criminal attacks?

Jim Wagner’s Reality-Based Personal Protection courses will give you the knowledge, training methods and techniques necessary to equip your students for the real world. Although traditional-based and sport-based systems do teach basic conflict techniques, they lack Pre-Conflict training (knowing how criminals select their target, threat assessment, legal issues, etc.) and Post-Conflict training (self-triage and first aid, citizen’s arrest, courtroom survival, etc.). Even when it comes to Conflict training most systems overlook the dynamic nature of a real-world attack such as carjackings, being held at gunpoint from a distance, inmate style stabbings, kidnapping, drive by shootings, etc. In addition to physical techniques and tactics, Jim Wagner created the very first civilian Use-of-Force graph that teaches martial artists what they can and can’t do legally in all self-defense situations.

By becoming a certified Reality-Based Personal Protection instructor your martial arts business will grow. People who want to learn self-defense want a system that is simple, effective, inexpensive, and most of all, can be learned quickly. Most martial arts schools survive only because of children enrolment. Over the past two decades adult enrolment in self-defense schools has been on the decline because most adults simply do not have the time to devote to a traditional-based system, nor do they want to be physically punished in a sport-based ring. People are no longer buying into the “martial arts subculture,” but just want to know how to take care of themselves and their loved ones.

Fortunately, the Reality-Based Personal Protection system is modular, just like law enforcement and military training, broken down into one-day training segments. However, you can even sub-divide these modular courses to fit your teaching schedule, and nothing says that you have to give up your current martial arts system. You can incorporate Reality-Based into your own curriculum or teach the system as is.

Jim Wagner has run thousands of police officers, SWAT officers, corrections officers, and military Special Operations personnel from all over the world through these courses long before offering them to civilians – 12 years before, in fact. The bottom line is that it does not take years to learn real self-defense, it takes days. It does not take years to teach real self-defense either, it takes days. Those who have experienced real conflict know that real conflict boils down to just a few techniques and 90% mental fortitude. According to Black Belt magazine, Budo magazine, Fighters magazine, and others, Jim Wagner’s training methods is “self-defense in the modern era.”

To be certified as a Reality-Based Instructor Level 1 you must successfully complete all five Core Courses listed below. You can take them all in one consecutive week, offered Monday through Friday, or take the courses individually, when time and money permits. Once you have completed all five courses you can go out and immediately teach others charging the suggested price of $125.00 per person per course. You can teach under the Jim Wagner organization or as an independent. Either way, you will always be listed on the official Jim Wagner Reality-Based Personal Protection website as an instructor, and you will get Jim Wagner’s full endorsement.

For those who want personal training from Jim Wagner, but may not be interested in instructor certification, you can still take these courses and get the benefit of the most up-to-date self-defense training in the world.

When you become a Level 1 certified Reality-Based instructor you’ll be able to use the official Reality-Based Corporate and individual course logos – WITH YOUR OWN NAME ON THEM. You’ll also get all of the course outlines.

You’ll get all the Reality-Based forms necessary to run successful courses, and they’ll all be on a CD so you can print out the forms you need, when you need them. You can even modify many of the forms to include your own information.

Jim Wagner was the first person ever to develop a civilian Use-of-Force graph, and it’s yours to use in teaching your students what they can and cannot do legally in any self-defense situation. Plus, you’ll get many other graphs as well.
