Most of our courses use the FIST® suit for our dynamic simulations. Dynamic simulations are when we put the officer(s) through a scenario and they use their judgment, training, team work and communication techniques to safely take control of the situation. The simulations place the officer(s) in a stressful situation, duplicating the emotional, physical and mental stress that they will encounter.

The FIST® suit model that is used is the 333 Suit. This is the only suit on the market that provides three layers of protection. This suit can take full impact strikes. By having three layers and each a different density and hardness, the shock of the impact is disbursed throughout the area. There is no direct impact to the person wearing the suit. There is still pressure felt by the person in the suit and this allows the wearer to give accurate feed back about the officer’s technique. The simulations are conducted with certified staff and safety monitors to ensure safety.

The officer is able to dynamically apply their techniques with full impact. The trainers are able to observe the officer’s technique and tactics. It could also be determined if the officer would demonstrate excessive use of force or be too timid in a situation that could lead to escalation in force. By recognizing these traits during training, the chance for any civil or criminal litigation can be reduced.

Participants during our self-defense course use the suit to control their fears while they are in a confrontation. By placing them in a stressful environment they see the necessity of only using techniques that are simple yet effective. Participants also gain confidence and respect for their own potential.

These dynamic simulations have been successfully used for training in the law enforcement, corrections, health care, SWAT/ETF, executive protection and security industry.
