What participants have to say
about the course.....
Taken from course evaluations.
"I really
enjoy all of the hands on experience. Kip not only tells you what
and how to do something, but he lets you practice until you have it
down. Kip has a very strong passion for self-defense and for sharing
his experience and knowledge with others. This makes you want to
learn".
Jeff Ward, Paramedic
"....the information
provided makes me feel more prepared to handle myself with a
questionable patient or situation".
L. Barrett NREMT-P,
Ozark County Ambulance District
" I have been to 3
different EMS defense classes and this one by far surpasses the
others."
Garett Rane y
"It was interesting to
me to see these techniques really work, especially with petite
individuals like me..... By using the steps taught, I was able to
bring down individuals much larger than I".
Penny Fuller, NREMT-P, Willow Springs
Ambulance District
"I am the
Ambulance Administrator For Ozarks Medical Center and I think that
any Service or ER dept. that is not using or going to use DT4EMS are
headed in the wrong direction in healthcare. I went to the class for
2 days and learned more than I had in 12 years on the truck. I took
a beating like everyone else and it was worth every second of it . I
can't wait to do it again."
Farrell R.Graves, EMT-P / Ambulance Administration, OMC
"I just took
the DT4EMS class 07/20/05 in West Plains, MO and WOW it was
awesome!!! KIP and BRUCE you guys are GREAT at what you do and how
you teach!! I have been in EMS for 17yrs now, 10 as a medic and I
learned more in 2 days about self defense than I thought possible. I
feel so much more confident now about my and my partners personal
safety. THANK YOU !!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!!"

Class of 07/20/05 - 07/21/05
"I just
attended the class with Kip and Bruce as instructiors and I am still
stoked!!! This is Paramedic/LEO talking to EMS/ER in a no nonsense
hands on practical approach. I studied karate for 2 years and was
completely blown away by the simplicity and practicality of this
program. We were taught mental, physical and legal aspects of
everything. This class made me view things from a different angle
that may very well save my butt one day. The FIST suit was a
humbling experience. No fluff of fancy crap here. No macho crap
either. Most seminars I retain 1 maybe 2 points. Here I found myself
watching the DVD when I got home to plant the principles deep. I am
looking forward to any refreshers offered."

Student - Class of 07/20/05 - 07/21/05
"This is hands
down the best course available for EMS. Covered very simple, but
very effective methods of distraction. By the end of the 2d day, a
layperson will have these methods down. Be aware -- this is not a
self-defense course taught by some ninja, but by a paramedic/police
officer/martial arts instructor who has been there (in the EMS
setting) and understands the ins and outs of the job and what we all
experience out there (and also what we MAY experience). You take
this course, and you will learn ways to give yourself and your
partner at least a few seconds of distraction in order to make an
escape from a dangerous or potentially dangerous scene. Do yourself
a favor...check this class out and talk to your supervisor about
getting it in your area. Rural EMS has long needed a course like
this. Props to the instructors for taking the time to put this
together. A very enjoyable experience...with CEU's to boot!"

Student - Class of 07/20/05 - 07/21/05
“Kip’s
knowledge and demonstration of all skills is amazing. And the fact
that each instructor, especially him will stop everything and go one
on one with you so you can grasp the material and skill better.
EVERYONE should go to the (DT4EMS) class.”
Nate Bean, EMT,
EMT-P Student SCCC - Class of 02/15/06 - 02/16/06

personally feel that every EMS System should have this (DT4EMS)
Course as a requirement for both EMT and the Paramedic……”

02/15/06 - 02/16/06 (course eval)
"I was a
former LEO, I went through defense training. I thought this (DT4EMS)
would be like that, Boy was I wrong…….I was very impressed at the
skills taught, how simple they truly are…..."
Steven E. Little,
EMT, EMT-P Student SCCC - Class of 02/15/06 - 02/16/06
