The purpose of the Advanced Impact/Edged Weapons Training 24-hour block is to build on C/DT 6240 and give the trainer/practitioner a more in-depth curriculum to improve awareness, technical skill, and teaching ability for a higher level of understanding and functionality for the use and defense of impact, edged and improvised weapons. The Advanced Impact Training Block curriculum incorporates progressions and drills for:
- Identifying and applying common angles of attack.
- Identifying the different weapon ranges for long, middle and close techniques.
- Understanding the primary concepts of baton with supplemental tools (shield, flashlight).
- Intermediate and advanced level defensive structure for the specific ranges for both impact and edged weapons.
- Zoning and angling theory to safely apply and defend against impact and edged weapons.
- Integration of primary personal striking skills with impact tools (baton, flashlight).
- Integration of primary control techniques with an impact weapon.
- Transition and Flow drills to modulate force and apply lower or higher force, safely, securely and efficiently while integrating dynamic movement of angles, deflections, control holds, locks and strips.
