UNARMED: Personal Security Strategies
UNARMED® addresses the critical training gap in civilian preparation by developing a personal security strategy that focuses on adaptive mindset essentials for operating safely in unfamiliar and intense environments. Our training program equips your team with mental frameworks and strategic presence to keep unarmed civilians effective and safe without relying solely on traditional security measures.
Designed by civilians who have first-hand experience operating unarmed on the frontlines of 21st century conflict, UNARMED® focuses on relationship-based security that leverages human connection and decision-making frameworks rather than equipment and physical force. It's rooted in real-world conflict zone experience and focuses on developing psychological resilience and an adaptive mindset.
