Tactical Advantage: Instructor Diagnostics & Applications
This class is the culmination of nearly 30 years of professional development. All aspects of a working method, proven to bring massive growth to students of martial discipline. This is, by all descriptors, the secrets to how I have built a respected coaching brand that yields.
Course Philosophy: Beyond the Powerpoint
Most "instructor" courses focus on administrative safety or the ability to recite a manual. Instructor Diagnostics and Applications is different. It is a deep-dive immersion into the science of coaching. Taught by one of the industry's most prolific diagnosticians, this biannual event is designed for the educator who wants to have a profound, lasting impact on a student’s shooting career rather than just overseeing a qualification or delivering a canned response to martial learners
Core Curriculum Pillars
1. The Diagnostic Trinity: Real-Time Correction
Students will observe and practice the "Live Diagnostic" method. This involves identifying the root cause of a performance error as it happens, categorized into three distinct layers:
- Mechanical: Identifying technical flaws fundamental applications (the "how").
- Physiological: Recognizing involuntary physical responses, such as recoil anticipation, vision shifts, or sympathetic nervous system spikes (the "body").
- Mental: Assessing cognitive load, task saturation, and the psychological barriers preventing a student from executing a skill (the "mind").
2. Command and Control: Large-Scale Instruction
Understanding the mechanics of a high-volume firing line is essential for safety and efficiency.
- Relay Management: Learn the "ballet" of managing multiple shooters, ensuring safety while maximizing repetitions.
- Common Issues: Identify and preempt the typical friction points of large-scale classes—from equipment failures to "problem" shooters.
- Full-Scale Execution: Under direct mentorship, students will take the lead, running actual class blocks to gain experience managing the "chaos" of a live range.
3. Adaptive Pedagogy & Methodology
A master instructor does not have one style; they have as many styles as they have students.
- Self-Audit: Deeply analyze your current teaching method to understand your biases and blind spots.
- Method Exposure: Be exposed to various teaching philosophies to expand your "tool kit."
- Pivoting for Gain: Learn how to change your delivery, vocabulary, or demonstration style mid-lesson to ensure maximum student retention and skill gain.
4. Application Environments
The course teaches the nuances of "The Work" across different commercial landscapes:
- Open Enrollment: Managing the diverse skill levels and personalities found in public classes.
- Private Coaching: Tailoring high-intensity, one-on-one sessions for accelerated results.
- The "When" vs. the "How": Identifying the appropriate moments to push a student versus when to scale back for consolidation.
What to Expect
This is a high-intensity laboratory. You will not be a non participant; you will be on the line, behind the line, behind the curtain, and in front of the students.
- Twice Yearly: Offered only twice a year to ensure small class sizes and high-quality mentor-to-student ratios.
- Live Demonstrations: Watch "The Work" being done at an elite level with real-time play-by-play commentary.
- Supported Performance: Run a full-size class with the safety net of expert oversight.
The Goal: To graduate instructors who don't just "teach a class," but who "change a shooter."
This course is 100% designed to build true coaches, not cookie cutter instructors
