TRICOM Edged Weapons Countermeasures Instructor Certification Course
Walters State Regional Law Enforcement Training Academy | Greeneville, TN
The TRICOM Edged Weapons Countermeasures Instructor Certification Course was developed by TRICOM Chief Instructor Jared Wihongi. The module was then further enhanced by Master Instructors Chris Mandigma and Kenny Bigbee Jr. to meet different police and military techniques, tactics, and procedures.
Course Focus:
Tactics: The combatives training we offer is pragmatic and concise integrating our various backgrounds in weapons. Muay Thai, Jiu-jitsu, and Pekiti-Tirsia Kali concepts.
Methods of Instruction: We adhere to the nationally-recognized principles of Methods of Instruction as participants delve into practical, hands-on application, theory, and applied-pressure scenarios.
Instructor Development: Participants will refine their delivery to enhance transfer of information for better information retention. A heavy emphasis is placed on learning not just 'how' to do a technique, but also the 'whys'.
