Counter-Kidnapping Training
Stay One Step Ahead
Boost your personal safety and security with our comprehensive in-person training on abduction counter measures, drills, and procedures.
Learn to anticipate, avoid or deal with the threats of kidnapping, surveillance, and extortion.
What to Expect
This training is specifically designed for Bitcoin and crypto owners who may not be fully aware of the risks and are often underprepared – physically, mentally, or tactically – to handle potential kidnapping scenarios.
While you may have basic digital security measures like hardware wallets, this training bridges the gap between technology and real-world human threats, empowering you to stay safe and strong in high-stakes situations.
The 1-Day Training Will Teach You
Learn to identify your weak points and mitigate threats by adopting new technologies and strategies. Develop a personalized prevention plan to reduce visibility and vulnerability.
Situational Awareness
Develop the habit of actively assessing your environment. Process inputs to stay calm and make decisions on the spot. Avoid common mindset traps by honing a predictive edge—identifying threats before they escalate. Learn how to use situational awareness to transform from a potential target into a vigilant, prepared individual.
Transport Safety & Avoidance Tactics
Apply situational awareness in vehicle and public transport settings. Prepare before leaving, know how to blend into crowds, and have backup plans. Trust your instincts but practice skills for safe global travel. Recognize early signs of surveillance (e.g., repeated encounters, suspicious vehicles) and execute countermeasures.
Self-Defense
Practice physical self-defense tactics when unarmed. Understand how to neutralize threats using impact techniques, environmental tools, and non-lethal force. Learn principles of lethal force as a last resort, tailored to high-risk environments.
Train in real-world tools and tactics:
- Non-lethal options (e.g., pepper spray, tactical strikes) for low-visibility scenarios.
- Lethal force fundamentals for extreme duress, including timing, compliance, and tactical deployment.
Escape Techniques
Field-tested strategies for escaping restraints, ambushing captors, or evading pursuit. Learn active resistance (e.g., breaking free) and passive strategies (e.g., delaying tactics) to maximize survival odds.
Psychological Resilience Training
Techniques to maintain mental strength during captivity, combat anxiety, and prevent long-term trauma. Build mental toughness through exercises used by hostages and covert operatives, ensuring you can endure and recover from high-stress scenarios.
Effective Communication Tactics
Understand how to interact with captors to de-escalate volatile situations. Practice psychological techniques to build rapport, delay decisions, and influence outcomes without provoking violence.
Real Case Analysis
Analyze real reported cases of kidnappings to understand the upsides and downsides of all actions taken by the individuals involved. Examine the strategies used by both victims and perpetrators, identifying key lessons and common pitfalls to enhance your preparedness and decision-making skills in high-stakes situations.
Real-Life Scenarios & Roleplay
Apply your new skills in simulations like:
- Being approached by a suspicious person near your vehicle.
- Responding to an unexpected knock at the door from someone claiming authority.
- Dealing with a ransom negotiation or ambush scenario.
- Escaping restraints.
- Surviving isolation during captivity.
