If you want to learn how to effectively use a handgun to defend yourself, or if you are law enforcement seeking to enhance your skill with combat proven methods of shooting accurately under stress, this program is for you. Whether you have extensive experience with firearms, or none at all, this program will give you a reliable set of skills should you need to use one.
Even if you never intend to own a handgun and are opposed to them in general, as a responsible adult who is studying self defense tactics, you should take the short Introductory course (ICS 1000) so you know what to do if you are confronted by one and disarm the attacker.
Israeli Combat Shooting (ICS) was developed throughout countless combat engagements by Israel's most Elite Special Forces and Special Ops Counter-Terrorism units during the last few decades of modern combat conflict in the middle-east. Our shooting methodologies have been truly battle-tested and have been proven extremely effective time after time.
Our unique no nonsense combative approach has one major guiding principle and that is: to hit and neutralize the opponent as fast as possible thereby eliminating the threat at the earliest stage possible.
Our training methods specialize in preparing students for real life threatening situations, so our graduates at higher level courses will be both functional and effective in their shooting skills when it counts the most - under pressure.
Building muscle memory (programming your body to shoot accurately instinctively) and proper mindset is heavily stressed from the beginning stages of our courses and stress shooting is introduced gradually into the training drills in order for you to be able to bridge training concepts to the reality of the actual pressure associated with real world events.
Courses are conducted in three progressive levels to ensure your complete education and skill development: ICS-1000, ICS-2000 and ICS-3000. Each course is approximately 4 hours long. Each course entails approximately 1 hour of dry practice and education, and live fire of 250 to 300 rounds of ammunition in a variety of situations.
Students who complete all three levels typically can draw a holstered gun, engage 3 targets under stress at varying angles and distances, reload their weapon and engage 2 additional targets with hits on all 5 targets using only 8 shots, in 8 seconds or less.
