"Training at the speed of real"

Here at Agema Defense, the mission of the Agema Defense Training Division is to provide students with the knowledge, techniques, and tools to better understand, train, and deploy for real world operations. Hence, the slogan for our Training Division, “Training at the Speed of Real.”

Our Training Division offers a few different ways to experience our training and instruction. We understand that not everyone can travel to a training site but sometimes, the only way to deliver supreme and relevant content is to have the proper facilities and support. Below you will see a breakdown of how you can experience a presentation, class or event. Contact us today to schedule a class that fits your schedule or attend one of our pre-set classes or courses.

- PowerPoint Presentations: Looking to enhance your workshop, seminar, or training curriculum for your agency or organization? Knowledge is power and the more information you attain from a variety of sources, the better you will become. Here at Agema Defense, we put together custom PowerPoint Presentations to reach a mass audience to help spread the knowledge that we have attained through our years of experience and education. We only develop and teach blocks of instruction that we have personal experience with, so you know you are getting it from a qualified source.

Our PowerPoints can be taught at both our location and hosted on site at a client's location.

- Development Courses: These courses are at least 1 day to multi-day courses that include PowerPoint Presentations, hands-on training, and a written test at the end of the course. We don't hand out course certificates for just simply attending. You must earn our course certificates by showing you passed our academic content as well. Here at Agema Defense, we pride ourselves on knowing the academic content as much as the practical content.

All of our Development Courses are held at Arena Training Facility, located in Blakely, Georgia. This is due to ensure all relevant content from our course can be taught effectively. You also don't have to worry about where to stay for multi-day courses. Arena Training Facility has housing accommodations on site!

- The Agema Tactical Athlete Challenge or "The ATAC": These are competition-styled events put together to test your capabilities and limits. These do not have any academic portions to them, it is all pure excitement. Competition breeds excellence. Events will be developed for different specialties/jobs so everyone can work on a specific area of their craft.

- Patrol Officer/Deputy (2-gun, Handgun & M4)

- Sniper (2-gun, Sniper Rifle & Handgun)

- Handgun Only

- M4 Only

- K9 Detection, EOD/Drug (yes, they are tactical athletes too!)

***All of our instructors only teach a subject matter that they have proven and vetted experience with, so you are able to ask questions and learn from their real-world situations.***

The Progression of Development: 3 steps for Building Success

Step 1. Modular Training

Building a solid foundation is the key to proficiency. Modular training, which are short, simple lessons which work on one facet of a finished product, is our way of building that proficiently. Starting in the most controlled environments to create confidence and competence before adding variables (or stressors) create a smoother process of mastering subconscious movements and reactions. No matter what we are teaching (K9, shooting, CQB, etc), our building blocks to proficiently never change. The mastering of each stage of development is paramount for continued and sustained success. You never rise to an occasion; you only fall to your lowest level of training. If you do not train properly, you will see just how far you can fall in the heat of the moment.

For example, take the video of Rob and one of his partner's, K9 Boedha. This is a short, segmented session of acclimating to gunfire. This is towards the middle of the progression of being able to work in a team atmosphere off-lead with gunfire. Becoming confident and competent at each level, then adding small variables (or stressors) will give you a better chance at what you are wanting to achieve. Again, this method is used and works in any aspect of teaching, whether it'd be with dogs or humans.

Step 2. Competition & Stress Events

Once you have achieved a level of proficiently, you need to test your capabilities/limits to see what they will do under stress. The only way to get even better is put yourself under stress in some form. The two best ways are strenuous exercise to increase the heart rate and competing against a clock. Both of these can simulate what your body is going to most likely do in a strenuous and subconscious moment. After completing this, you can go back to the building blocks of modular training to re-form and enhance your skills in the areas where you saw a deficiency.

In the video, Rob is conducting a stage from a USPSA Steel Shooting Match in Griffin, GA back in 2018. By using these steel matches as a way to induce stress and keep record of shooting times throughout the years, it is a great vehicle to understand what areas you need improving and seeing how effective your training program is. Remember, competition breeds excellence...

Step 3. When the Rubber Meets the Road: Real World Scenarios

Nothing is ever done right without a dress rehearsal. This is our last stage in our development process and methodology. This environment is the most uncontrollable and real life as you can get for training. At this stage, you will understand how critical it is to have proper training, TTP's, SOP's, gear, communication, etc.

For example, you see a small clip from a building clearing exercise for a possibly armed gunman. Ponts of domination, angles, proper cover-fire, etc., should be tested and evaluated. Remember, if you can't/won't test your Tactics, Techniques, Procedures (TTP's) in live fire, then you shouldn't use them in the real world. You need to train like you fight.
