Common Sense Self-Defense - Women’s Self-Defense Training

Self-defense is not a sport or an exercise video, it is a way to protect you and potentially survive an unwelcomed encounter. Most women who are attacked are not prepared to defend themselves. Our instruction is designed to give you the basic skills and confidence to stay safe and alive in the case of an attack. The main objective is to stop the assault and get away.

Our defense concepts are simple and focus on the tried-and-true elements of traditional martial arts training; attack the weaker parts of the aggressor's body with the stronger parts of yours. Our defense strategies are strength, size and gender neutral. The main focus of our training centers on vital strike areas (eyes, nose, ears, throat, groin, solar plexus etc.) –These are highly sensitive parts of the body that remain vulnerable no matter the size and strength of the potential attacker.

Travel Smart - Situational Fluency and Risk Mitigation Training for the Business Traveler

In today’s economic times, the prototypical bad guy is harder to recognize. Today's threat is not confined to the image of a deranged individual or the drunk guy at the bar. He or she may be the person next door who lost a job, and along with it the capacity to feed the family. He or she may be the seemingly harmless stranger profiling you in the airport, hotel or restaurant or they may be a religious extremist looking to inflict catastrophic harm . Today’s bad guy is calculating motivated and equipped to do harm to the unsuspecting and ill prepared.

Executives are often considered easy targets because often they inadequately prepare to mitigate their own personal safety risks. Situational awareness training, risk mitigation strategies and self-defense training are serious business considerations that executives should make part of their ongoing calendar activities for themselves and their traveling employees. It is not just a nice to do, it is part of our corporate responsibility of duty of care.

Bad guys are honing their criminal element skills every day. In contrast, executives are usually focused on critical issues such as meeting customer demands, driving company initiatives and growing market share. Your life or family’s well being may depend on changing that pyridine. Panther Protection Services helps business executives and traveling employees enhance their protective IQs and self-defense skills key components that are essential to minimizing personal security risks.

We move you beyond mere situational awareness to helping you develop situational fluency, and enhance your risk mitigation procedures, logistical planning and defensive tactics training to better prepare you to handle unforeseen personal security threats. Whether these threats are civil unrest, attempted assault, attempted abduction, active shooters, terroristic activity, improvised explosive device (IED) threats, or enhancing your survival in collapsed building.

Our training is designed to lessen your potential for being targeted and maximizing the opportunity for surviving an assault or civilian mass casualty event. For executives conducting business domestically or abroad, Panther Protection Services is a resource that delivers special coaching with the objective of showing how to mitigate risks or move from harm’s way.

Founded on the tried-and-true elements of traditional martial arts techniques; our training centers on balance disruption, body mechanics and vital strike areas – the highly sensitive parts of the body that are vulnerable no matter the size and strength of the potential attacker.

Dealing with Challenging Students

Students aren’t the only ones getting an education to increase the probability that they will indeed achieve their life aspirations. Panther Protection Services is teaching educators the art of protecting students and themselves against violence and mayhem through their new seminar “Dealing with Challenging Students.” Unique to the personal protection seminar is training on behavioral triggers.

We teach professors and other campus personnel how to recognize behavioral patterns among themselves that can elicit threatening actions by a student. Educators will learn to better avoid conflict and how to increase their control during dangerous disturbances. “Situational awareness is the most powerful protection tool and people leave our seminar with that knowledge and much more.

Outbreaks of hostile student behavior and active shooter incidents are in-your-face reminders that educational institutions are a microcosm of the real world. While school administrators place high value on protecting students and their learning environments, Department of Justice statistics warn that an aging safety plan, coupled with lack of situational awareness training exposes an entire school site to unnecessary risks. Security protocol that lacks updated best practices and fails to give realistic guidance to classroom instructors puts lives at higher risk. "Dealing with Challenging Students" also includes information on generational communication differences that can lead to dangerous conflicts.

It's time for the academicians to take notes on their iPads and learn non-defensive, safe interactions with students who present potential challenges not only to the learning environment but to the well being of others. We are working with colleges to train employees on situational awareness and pre-incident indicators as a key component of safety protocol. Professors who develop skills in quickly discerning the difference between signs of dangerously challenging behaviors and non-threatening distractions can promote an environment of learning and safety where students flourish.

We also understand that sometimes despite an educator's best de-escalation attempts, some situations will unfortunately deteriorate and physical contact by a student occurs. We teach educators how to minimize their chances of injury during a violent assault, whether it is a student against teacher or a student-on-student attack. “Dealing with Challenging Students” covers strategies especially applicable to school environments and shows those closest to the threat how to become their own first line of defense. Our primary objective is teaching educators how to maintain calm in the face of anxiety.

Surviving an Active Shooter – Training for School and University

Officials

An Active Shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; and continues to do so while having unrestricted access to additional victims. “Active shooter situations are often over within 10 to 15 minutes, before law enforcement arrives on the scene, individuals must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with an active shooter situation.”

Active shooters often look for soft targets like malls, churches or schools due to their low presence of security and high access to potential victims. The active shootings at Columbine High School, Omaha Mall, Virginia Tech, and Fort Hood left a trail of victims because the shooters were far more prepared than those who suffered in those ordeals. Financial or emotional stressors, forced separation from a lover or a job, bullying or an overly aggressive manager or insensitive instructor may create the flashpoint which triggers workplace or school violence.

As protection specialist we understand first-hand a school or universities challenges associated with a changing reality. High profile crime incidents on campuses across the nation communicate to parents that the campus environment can be as risky as ‘the real world.’ Because active shooter situations are quick and incredibly violent active shooter training is a necessity for school and university administrations to understand immediate actions needed even before police arrive on a scene. Individuals must be prepared themselves with strategies to increase their chances of survival while awaiting help.

At Virginia Tech, student Seung Hui Cho killed 32 people and injured 15 others within 11 minutes. The active shooter didn’t discriminate - students and administrators were shot.

At Panther Protection Services we help you:

• Identify your security challenges

• Develop proactive risk reduction strategies

• Identify pre incident indicators

• Help your administrators, teachers and students understand the appropriate sense of urgency in response

• Learn survival tactics for school officials and students during an actual attack

• Learn how to engage with first responders

• Learn how to assist victims post attack

When agencies, departments, educational institutions and employers try to avoid high-risk situations at all costs, and wait for SWAT to arrive, history has shown us the cost will be innocent victim’s lives. Let us customize and active shooter survival plan for your institution today!

Ministry of Defense – Mitigating Violence in a House of Worship

Faith-based organizations have long been the pillars of their respective communities. There existence has always been to reach out to those in need. Regardless of whether you are in a church, synagogue, cathedral or a mosque the message has always been the same we are our brother's keeper. That same spirt of trust, openness and service unfortunately throughout time has become a double edge sword, as those intent on doing harm often don’t respect the sanctity of the church as some of the practicing members.

Outbreaks of hostile behavior are as old as the religions we practice. Domestic violence, crime active shooter incidents, church bombings and other mass casualty incidents are reminders that the devil remains busy. While religious institutions may desire to place high value on protecting their congregations, Department of Justice statistics warn that an aging safety plan, coupled with lack of situational awareness training exposes the entire congregation to unnecessary risks. Often outdated faith-based security protocols fail to give realistic guidance to religious leadership and puts lives at higher risk.

Recognizing that we teach church leadership, observers and crisis managers how to recognize behavioral patterns among members, guest or intruders that can elicit threatening actions by an individual or group of individuals. We help faith-based organizations learn how to better avoid conflict and how to increase their control during dangerous disturbances. Situational awareness and recognition of a person in need is critical before it becomes a crisis. This is the most powerful protection tool participants leave our seminar with is the importance of understanding how do we get in front of the violence.

We also understand that sometimes despite an institutions best commitment to serve their communities, some situations will unfortunately still manifest themselves in violence outcomes. We teach those closest to the conflict how to recognize people in trouble and utilize their crisis managers to assist in minimizing the threat. Our primary objective is teaching key members how to maintain calm in the face of anxiety.

• The Impact of Apathy in Religious Institutions

“A weapon mounted light can be a tale of two cities. A weapon mount light allows you to keep both hands on fire control, but it also positions the light in close proximity to your vitals. Lights attract attention, attention often attracts gun fire. Know how to dominate the dark.”

Angel by Panther Protection Services

Everyone benefits when each member of a community has hope for leading a safe, productive life. Our collective community is deprived of talent and service contributions when women are robbed of the personal security needed to work, attend school, give care to loved ones, or develop special talents. That’s why Panther Protection Services is creating partnerships with public entities, non-profits, and corporations to surround battered and abused women with a powerful resource: training and vital information about situational awareness and self-defense techniques for women. We deliver training and vital education customized for women in protective shelters. We believe working together to provide training and information that meets the unique needs of abused women can help reduce the cycle of abuse against women. Our partnerships make it possible for women in shelters to access training at no cost to them. Everyone benefits. At Panther Protection Services, we call this our Angel effect and it’s our way of giving back.

Self-help through enhanced personal protection can be an effective component of longer-term solutions against rape, abuse, and battering of women. As protection specialists, our strategies begin with teaching women in shelters how to recognize behaviors that can readily turn into a physical assault. We train women on defensive tactics such as how to escape chokes, how to increase chances of surviving attack by an armed aggressor, and how to prepare for a safe escape when faced with threats in the future.

Panther Protection Services applauds the accomplishments of women’s shelters and sponsored programs that nurture abused women’s ability to lead safe, productive lives. Those organizations grant hope to families and communities for better tomorrows. We serve as a resource for them and others that invest in protecting women against abuse. In concert with partners we gift battered women with vital training. This is Angel, by Panther Protection Services.
