www.tridentdefensivetraining.com For many high risk security driving positions the driver must develop many driving skills, on multiple surfaces, in different weather conditions, and all under stress. Here is a brief look as we take a security team into a block of training to work on "counter pitting" maneuvers. After days of high speed close proximity driving, we then teach students how to preform "pitting maneuvers" so they know how it feels and works. After that we then teach them how to counter those same maneuvers so they can keep their team or VIP on the road moving forward to a safe location.

It is appropriate to keep our firearms cleared of ammunition with our selector switch in the "safe" position when not using it. This is usually accompanied by our bolt (or slide in the case of a pistol) locked to the rear position so we can visually see that the chamber is still clear of any ammunition allowing us to know the status of the firearm. This is great for general safety, but if we store the firearm in this position it will weaken the springs over time. In this video Rich discusses how he stores his to extend the life of these springs.

Big THANK YOU to Joe Del Campo of The Excalibur Group for providing video footage!!

At the 1st Annual Navy SEAL Museum "Bridge Challenge," this SEAL took on the challenge with a twist. He did it with his K9! Not knowing that the challenge was a double cable ladder climb of 70 ft, vs a standard cable ladder climb of 35 ft or less.
He climbs 2/3 of the way up and his grip is smoked. The weight of his dog pulling him further away form the ladder with every breath. He resorts to hugging the ladder to keep from peeling off backwards. The dog stays calm, trusting him that they will make it through. He does not know how he can possible make it any further at this point.
Even when you think you're done and can't go any further, there's always that warrior inside you who refuses to give up and wants stay in the fight! With the crowd cheering him on, and the reputation of the "Teams" to uphold, this SEAL digs deep with 15-20 ft more to climb and starts putting the rungs of the ladder in a "head lock" one rung at a time because his grip had given out, but he had not!
There are people counting on you, and watching you and your actions! Please reflect on times when you could have given more, or times when you went the extra mile. Identify them and use this as a reminder. And the next time you think of quitting, DON'T!!!
There is always a better option: to succeed!!!

My point for posting this video does not have anything to do with dog training, but to show some obvious clues to reaching goals and coaching. As Trident Fitness launches its Full Spectrum Warrior program these will be some key topics of training. So here are a few easy examples you can see with this dog trying to jump up onto a light post.
First as I tell the dog to jump on the post like many of us in our lives we have a coach who tell us to do something that to us seems to be impossible, but maybe we give it a shot because our coach might see something in us that maybe we don't. In this case the dog looks back at me on the first command with a pause and slight confusion maybe thinking, "you want me to do what?" After, I persuade the dog some more verbally it jumps and almost gets it.
After the first shot the dog realizes like we do so many times when trying to hit a goal our coach sets for us that this is going to be hard, and maybe even impossible.
From here the dog keeps trying only because of my encouragement. The dog does not believe it is possible anymore but I know it is. The dog becomes frustrated as it falls time and time again. A few falls you can tell even hurt a little. Each time the dog fails you can see the motivation getting lower and lower, this is not fun for the dog anymore. The dog procrastinates to avoid failing again. How many times do you procrastinate things because you think your going to fail?
The second to the last jump is the worst. The dog takes the top of the post directly in the ribs. I guy riding by on a bike comments "oh, looks like that one hurt!" He looked at me like I was stupid for trying to get a dog to jump up onto a slick metal post that was barely big enough for all of the dog's paws to fit on at one time.
Now we had a decision to make. The dog walks away in avoidance, and we are being called out buy the on lookers. We can decide, "you know what maybe dogs just can't physically jump up onto posts, this is stupid" or we can focus and hit the goal. If there were a time to walk away
It would be now, but you can't reach your goals walking away and you can't coach people to win by listening to the naysayers.
The next jump the dog nails it! As the dog tries to hold its balance you can see it is almost in disbelief that it is standing on this slick metal post. The dog's body language immediately changes. The tail starts wagging and you can tell by how happy and proud the dog looks as it comes off the post. By watching the dog trot off you would never know a minuet earlier this dog was beat up and defeated. There is nothing like breaking the mental limitations that we set or allow society to set for us. When we get in a habit of doing this, everythi

Rich speaking to a class about to engage in some dynamic shooting drills. This video, although bad quality, gives a brief look into our training philosophy.
When playing by "big boy rules" YOU now must assume responsibly for your actions good or bad.
