www.fragoutmag.com As I have already mentioned, Ut is to recreate threats in urban environment, but each edition has is own major theme. So far, those were: dangerous situations in public transportation, narrow rooms with limited visibility, dangerous situations in a car or near a car, and protection of persons, meaning situations in which the priority is to secure our relatives (an exemplary scenario included a blackmailer with a knife or a gun, at a car park, when there is your child in the back sit of your car).Training consists of several stages. The first stage includes safety procedures concerning handling with guns, dry-firing classes and an introductory shooting part devoted to the basic knowledge and skills within the scope of handling a gun. Next stage is a training in Krav Maga techniques devoted to the general topic, which is the main theme, and another shooting classes (also theme-based). instructors build realism of situations both by forming real-like threats, as well as by using professional training equipment. Students have access to training knives, guns, batons, shields, shooting dummies, paper and metal targets. The last and the most part of the seminars is the „obstacle course", on which the participant of the course verifies his or her level of training and the ability to work under pressure. It is a thorough summary including all the techniques learned during the course. The participant has to pass through a particular route on which many attackers provoke various problems and threats. The final part is the shooting stage on which the participant must show his or her efficiency and coolness, despite fatigue and stress. By offering variety of each training, the instructors encourage participants to take part in future editions. That is why we also had a special edition for advanced participants. That training was for people who had their own weapons and it concerned a situation in which the participants would have to use those weapons. Apart from practicing fighting or shooting techniques, such trainings allow a sort of familiarization with extremely dangerous situations, so that when they occur in reality, it will be something known to you and you won't panic. People practicing such scenarios have a great chance to handle a real dangerous situation, take successful actions, or be preventive and avoid the threat, which is the principle of the civilian version of Krav maga.
