Conflict Conditioning
The goal of this course is to prepare the mind and body for a wide variety of conflict using drills and exercises taken from around the world and from dozens of systems. Each drill and exercise is divided up into Individual, Partner, and Group.
This course starts with the Jim Wagner Reality-Based Personal Protection Warm-Up, which is famous for its systematic approach to warming up every joint in the body using the ten primary directions and circular movement.
Individual Stretching takes you more in depth than in previous courses. These exercises will keep the body young and agile through improved circulation and joint manipulation.
Team Stretching teaches you how to get a deeper stretch with the assistance of a partner. Each stretch always relates back to being a better conditioned fighter.
The next phase of the training is Conflict Strength Training starting with Individual Exercises that come from Boot Camps and Police Academies around the world. These exercises are designed to toughen you up. The names of these exercises speak for themselves: Peruvian National Police Push-ups, U.S. Navy SEALs Push-ups, Tokyo Riot Police Push-ups, British SAS sit-ups, and so forth.
Having a good partner will always provide you with a more intense workout that you could not achieve on your own. That’s why you will take it up a notch with Partner Conflict Strength Exercises. This is where the muscles start to burn and mental fortitude is built up.
Next comes Individual Conflict Training Drills that are designed to give you a warrior attitude. Some of the drills and exercises come from elite units around the world, but there are also drills that are entirely Jim Wagner Conflict Drills. When the Israeli Army first saw them they immediately wanted to incorporate some of them in their Basic Combat Training.
Just like in the Defensive Tactics course where one learns how to block, even in low light or no light situations, you will get better at blocking incoming knife attacks with the Jim Wagner Kinetic Sensation Response Level 2.
With a partner you will have the opportunity to participate in many drills that will build your self-confidence in fighting with drill like: Spin and Fight, Clench Escape, Mind Over Pain, and the Two Person Rescue Seat Carry, just to name a few.
Group Exercises and Drills are next, which will be both challenging and fun. You’ll get to see how the German counter-terrorist team GSG9 does push-ups and abdominal strengthening. You’ll get to experience the French Foreign Legion Crawl, Climbers Trust Fall, Brazilian Circle Hop, the Israeli YAMAM Boiler Pressure Drill, SWAT Three Person Wall Climb, and even bodyguard drills like Guard the Box or Walking the Gauntlet.
