Last weekend Combative Weapon Solutions taught their signature Combative First Aid & Trauma Management Class to LE, firearm instructors, Fire/EMT, and civilian students. With the diverse background, the class incorporated self/buddy aid with advanced handgun manipulation skills. Day 1 was classroom which dove into the basics of anatomy, physiology, terminology, and hands on practice utilizing basic and advanced life saving skills. With a thorough understanding of how to identify and respond to life threatening injuries, we hit the range for day 2 which tested the medical knowledge from the previous day along with adding advanced single handed pistol manipulation skills. By mid day, the class was running through reality based scenarios while having to treat medical emergencies via single and team based drills. At days end, students were handling complex scenarios while under a high stress environment. Students left having confidence and skill sets to truly make a difference in saving a life. Testimonials and AAR are forth coming, but needless to say, this is training that truly teaches people to save lives.
