The active bystander is a term we’ve applied to the ordinary citizen who learns, trains, and devotes their life to protecting and aiding others when an active threat arises. That threat may be in the form of an act of violence or even a physical injury. This series of classes takes principles of tactical medical care and combines it with defensive shooting techniques and critical decision making.

All students will be given a period of instruction and then execute multiple live fire drills and patient assessments to reinforce the objectives for that day. Individual student feedback and coaching will be provided by the instructors.

Bleeding is the #1 cause of preventable death in the world. Our basics class is designed for anyone who wants to learn life saving medical interventions, regardless of prior training or experience. No matter what background you come from, we will get you to where you want to be. Students will learn multiple bleeding control techniques including tourniquet application, wound packing, direct pressure, utilizing pressure dressings,  types of bleeds recognition, and turning over care to arriving first responders.
