AMOK! Personal Safety
AMOK! Personal Safety focuses on civilian self-protection and functional combatives for real-world violence. The training is built around awareness, avoidance, deception, movement, timing, edged weapons, improvised tools, and close-quarter survival under pressure. Programs range from everyday personal safety and escape tactics to tactical knife development, fi****ms integration, and combative problem-solving. The emphasis is not on choreography or sport, but on developing adaptable skill that continues to function when situations become chaotic, fast, and unpredictable.
Edged Response
Edged Response serves law enforcement, corrections, executive protection, security personnel, and fi****ms professionals operating in environments where close-contact violence is a realistic possibility. The training focuses on integrating edged-weapon awareness and combative functionality into professional operational contexts, including weapon-access problems, close-quarter entanglements, weapon-retention issues, transitional force, and rapid-response decision-making. The goal is to develop personnel who can recognize, respond, and function effectively during sudden violent encounters under operational pressure.
Quietus
Quietus is the government and special-operations division focused on close-contact doctrine for vetted military and government personnel operating in high-consequence environments. The program centers on extreme close-quarter applications involving edged weapons, access-under-pressure, confined-space movement, transitional force, tactical implementation, and mission-oriented decision-making. Quietus is designed for professionals working in contexts where hesitation, confusion, and technical failure carry severe consequences, emphasizing functional capability, adaptability, and operational effectiveness under stress.
