Jim Wagner In Depth
Jim Wagner’s Reality-Based Personal Protection system has created
a major shift in the way people are learning self-defense world wide.
Black Belt magazine labeled Jim Wagner as a “legend,” and
his monthly column HIGH RISK is rated one of the most popular features
in the magazine year after year. Alfredo Tucci, the publisher of Europe’s
top martial arts magazine Budo (printed in seven languages) stated, “Jim
Wagner is without doubt one of the most important experts in the world
on ‘real self-defense.’ He has taught the most important
units in the world, such as German GSG9,
Israeli Special Forces, FBI SWAT, Argentinean
GOE, the U.S. Marshals, Brazilian GATE,
every branch of the American military, the U.S. Border Patrol, Helsinki
Police, British TSG, etc. His curriculum is impressive!”
Jim Wagner, a former soldier, corrections officer,
street cop, SWAT officer, diplomatic bodyguard, and counterterrorist
for the United States Government immediately following 9/11, was
the first self-defense instructor to introduce the civilian martial
arts world to authentic police and military training methods as
early back as 1998, at which time he coined the term reality-based.
Then in 2003, after 146 counterterrorist missions, Jim Wagner left
full-time law enforcement and formed the civilian version of his
system.
The definition of the term Reality-Based, coined by Jim Wagner,
is:
Training and survival skills based on modern conflict situations
that the practitioner is likely to encounter in their environment
(their “reality”).
Although the term reality-based is used by many to describe a more
realist approach to self-defense, there is only one original Reality-Based
system, and Jim Wagner has the articles, videos, DVDs to back up
that claim.
For any self-defense system to be truly “reality-based” it
must include the three major components of training: Pre-Conflict
Training, Conflict Training, and Post Conflict Training. Every system
teaches Conflict Training, that is to say “punching and kicking,” but
Jim Wagner’s system is the very first system to introduce
Pre-Conflict and Post-Conflict Training as well.
Pre-Conflict Training, which is woven all throughout our Core Courses,
includes Threat Assessment, Situational Awareness, the O.O.D.A.
process, legal issues, counter-surveillance, knowing the Assault
Elements, Threat Zones, Conflict Conditioning, etc.
Post-Conflict Training are those actions immediately following
a conflict, such as self-triage and first aid, citizen’s arrest,
evidence identification and preservation, police contact, Post Traumatic
Stress syndrome, courtroom survival, and the list goes on.
Of course, when it comes to Conflict Training, Jim Wagner's Reality-Based
Personal Protection system goes well beyond what most self-defense
systems teach. Since his techniques and training methods are gleaned
from the world’s most elite units, which ultimately ties into
an understanding of criminal and terrorist training methods and
tactics, Jim Wagner teaches what few instructors are qualified to
teach: defense against terrorist bombings and small arm attacks,
inmate style stabbings, carjackings, drive-by shootings, kidnappings,
sexual assault, armed robbery, criminal chemical attacks, gang violence,
school and workplace massacres, victimization at gunpoint - just
to name a few. For more information go to www.jimwagnertraining.com
