One Man Room Clearing - Warrior Poet Society

Course Overview

This is one of Warrior Poet Society’s most under-valued courses, as many think it’s only something for SWAT teams and military members. The reality is that every patrol officer answering a call, every civilian investigating a ‘bump in the night’, and really, every person who comes in harms way in or around any structure is engaging in room clearing. This is high-stakes chess and the unforgiving game of angles. Here, pistol / rifle skills graduate into something far more important: tactics. All military, law enforcement, and civilians are welcome to attend this 2 day course, pending legal possession of a firearm and US citizenship. Students will learn timeless tactical principles and combat-proven, deliberate clearing techniques, which will enable them to spot the threats much earlier and avoid getting ambushed.

Additional Information

This class is a mix between classroom time, drills, force-on-target, and force-on-force exercises. The course will review different types of clearing methods and display the various tactics that make them successful. For single-man clearing outside of an active shooter scenario, we will major on more deliberate clearing methods. This course does not have any live fire. You may run the course with your AR-15 / m4 carbine and one of our conversion kits, and/or a Glock 17 pistol (we will provide). Face masks will also be provided, as well as ammunition. You will need to bring other protective gear such as thicker clothing, neck protection, gloves, baseball cap, etc.

Who Can Attend?

  • All U.S citizens ages 18 and up that are legally allowed to own/purchase/possess a firearm and who have completed an introductory firearm safety course. Minors are not permitted.

  • You must have an intermediate/advanced level of training in pistol and/or rifle and be able to provide proof of training. You will be tied to whatever weapon system in which you have adequate training. If you are trained in both, you will be able to switch intermittently if you so choose.

DESCRIPTION:

Class Flow: PHYSICALLY & MENTALLY INTENSE This is a Force-On-Force class. You may be put into situations where you are shot at by UTM (Ultimate Training Munition) projectiles while wearing issued safety gear (see: they hurt / sting).

We train and train and train for what will hopefully never happen. As we live and work to enjoy our life of liberty and freedom, there is always someone who is willing to try and take that from us. That being said, life is not all about worrying about all of the bad, but it does warrant the conscious thought that bad things can occur and that being as prepared as possible is far better than never readying ourselves.

MDFI’s The Human Element will put you, your training, your life experiences, the way you interact with others and your environment all to the test.

WHAT THIS CLASS IS:

The ultimate problem-solving class. There are no more paper targets. You and your actions will determine the outcome of this class.

You will test your use of verbal skills, intermediate force and lethal force skills, articulation and understanding of constitutional use of force. This class is about a desire for feedback and improving yourself as a responsible member of society. You will be immersed in situations with a cadre of role players to truly test how you deal with realistic life scenarios that encompass all use of force levels and types of situations a person may encounter.

WHAT THIS CLASS IS NOT:

This is not paintball. This is not time to play shoot ‘em up with UTMs for fun. If you are an unsafe gun handler, lack a proper skills foundation, or have poor emotional control don’t even hover near the register button. This is for the serious student looking to better themselves.

NOTE: THIS CLASS IS UTM/SIM ONLY AT AN INDOOR SHOOTHOUSE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO SIMULATE COMMON OCCUPIED STRUCTURES. LIVE WEAPONS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED* Please carry to class as legally warranted. Cadre will notify students of proper range-safety procedures prior to training.

Class Flow: PHYSICALLY & MENTALLY INTENSE This class is open to both Handgun and Long Gun.

Bad things happen in and around our world during the hours of darkness and we should have the skills to deal with those problems should that day arise.

WHAT THIS CLASS IS:

This is a problem-solving class. Not a shooting class. You just happen to have a firearm with you. This is THE class to run your gear as you have it set up at home or your daily carry. This is the class to test your ability think, shoot and move at the same time. THIS CLASS IS HIGH-STRESS AND PHYSICALLY DEMANDING.

WHAT THIS CLASS IS NOT:
