Mark Bousquet, the founder of GBA, developed the TAPPS program which is currently taught to police departments and SWAT teams. This program was developed to be simple and effective. The techniques taught work not only with SWAT teams around the country, but also the elderly and women's defense courses. This program method WORKS and it doesn't matter your size or strength level.

Robert Higgins, the lead instructor for Muzzle Front, has provided an array of different firearms training for over ten years resulting in thousands of empowered students. For this course he will be working with Z7's lead firearms instructor to combine his intensive training on technique, safety and application with the courses real world learning environment and scenarios. This module will not be held standing still firing at paper targets. You will move, you will be stressed, you will use critical thinking and problem solving and you will have live scenarios that will test your mind and body. Training with a firearm is simply not enough, to survive you must learn to move, react and live with firearms. These two modules will give you the foundation and the skill set to build the confidence and know how you need to react diligently and competently in a crisis situation.

Mind-set is one of the most important aspects of surviving any crisis, also having the ability to influence the mind-set of those you are protecting is crucial.
Team and Individual security basics are something people often overlook or neglect to practice until it is too late. This module will teach you how to work and move as a team (or a family!). You will learn how to set up a security perimeter and how to keep watch for threats in your carefully selected area. You will also learn how to respond if a threat is detected.
The FAHE portion of the course will be a joint held real time scenario to teach you basics of how to care for yourself and others if wounded in a crisis. Identification and treatment of major trauma ie sucking chest wounds, arterial bleeds etc will be covered. This module shows you what to do for yourself and others when seconds count and the ambulance is minutes away.

This is an outline from a previous course. Each course is customized to its participants and no two Z7 courses are ever the same.
