Any good intensive RBSD courses?

Well said. I will add that serious consideration and training is necessary before forming groups with the intent of getting involved in street crimes as protectors of the innocent. You can very easily CREATE a hostage situation which would not have existed had you called for help instead of charging in without proper training and understanding of the dynamics of the situation.

As Tant01 said, good points and I do agree. In any event the call to the police is always going to be the main focus, any other action taken would be very much a matter of extreme circumstance and still probably could be done by alerting the perpetrator to the fact that the police were en route. having said that, you just never know.

I'd also add that "short term" classes nearly always assume long term active practice. SD skills and certainly PSD skills diminish greatly without proper honing.

Agreed but presumably at some point the said group could practice with each other on a regular basis.

I might ad that keeping an attorney on retainer is never a bad idea either.

Yeah, also a very valid point. Those damn lawyers always make a buck outta you somewhere down the line don't they

I had a group I trained with like this almost daily for 3 years, then it all just kinda started to flake off one by one.

Now it's just 3 from the original group that train regularly together. Every so often someone will buzz by.

But it is awesome and so much fun to train with a group regularly.

I think it would be too.

BTW I checked out Mick Coups site which looks good and I'll be in the UK later this year. I have quite a few friends from the valleys so I can look them up at the same time.
