Warrior Reflections on Love

Modern Warrior Defensive Tactics — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:17:13 +0000

St. Valentine was a warrior– he defied the Roman Emperor Claudius, in order to perform marriages for young couples. (http://www.history.com/topics/valentines-day)

Today, take a few moments to reflect upon the relationship that the Warrior Mindset and Love have on each other.

For a warrior, there is only one thing more difficult than facing an enemy you cannot defeat. That is, facing an enemy you love. -Phil Messina

To love a Warrior is not to love their causes, but to understand their need to have them. -Phil Messina

No enemy is capable of hurting a warrior as much as a loved one can when love is set aside for self gratification. Better a broken heart than no heart at all. -Phi Messina

(Quotes selected are excerpts from January 2012′s Warrior Reflections)

Combat-Physiokinetics for First Responders

Modern Warrior Defensive Tactics — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:07:02 +0000

Phil Messina, Ret. NYPD Sgt., will be leading a Combat-Physiokinetics for First Responders at the Paladin Center on April 11th.

Combat Physio-Kinetics focuses on the science of combat, not the art of combat. Understanding how the human body functions mechanically enables you to easily and effectively influence a combatant’s motion.

Combat Physio-Kinetics does not rely on pain compliance, therefore it is ideal for Low Use of Force situations, as well as on aggressors who cannot feel pain (i.e. persons on drugs, EDP’s , etc).

This course is a must for anyone who needs to make quick and seamless adjustments in the field, those who want to supplement their Defensive Tactics training with practical components and smaller, lighter responders who cannot rely on “muscling it”.

MW Visits the Air National Guard

Modern Warrior Defensive Tactics — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:07:35 +0000

Modern Warrior was honored to lead a Rape Prevention Demonstration for the women of the Air Force National Guard on Sunday 2/5/12.

The class consisted of strategy, effective strikes, blocking, and use of improvised weapons, among other empowering topics. Instead of teaching women to fight like men, Modern Warrior shows women how they can capitalize on their physiology to cause maximum mechanical dysfunction on an assailant.

Modern Warrior's team of dynamic and knowledgeable instructors huddle together at the Air National Guard Base, immediately following a Rape Prevention Demonstration.

For information on how to bring this life-saving program to your organization, please call Megan Gilroy at 631-226-8383.

SPACE Testimonials

Modern Warrior Defensive Tactics — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:08:26 +0000

Modern Warrior has always taken a forefront in progressive training for civilians and law enforcement officers. In recent years we have also had an astute eye on schools particularly the issue of bullying and violent intruders.

Our Student Protection And Controlled Escape (SPACE) Program addresses both concerns, as well as how bullying can lead into the other in the form of vigilantism.

Here are testimonials from a few attendees. You will note that their job positions are varied, however their position on the necessity for the information provided by the Modern Warrior SPACE Program is consistent.

Testimonials from those who have attended the Modern Warrior®

S.P.A.C.E. Program…

“Terrific class. We look forward to taking the Certification class. We definitely need to educate the educators and those in law enforcement. Together they can save lives.” R.F., Supervisor at U.S. Military Academy at West Point

“The instructors were great and very helpful.” R.A., Monitor and School Counseling Intern

“This course should be mandatory in college teacher training curriculums.” C.F., Police Officer, D.A.R.E. Instructor

“I was relieved and excited to learn that just by changing the layout of my classroom and obtaining a Kinetic Intervention Device (K.I.D.), I can help protect the students and the rest of the innocent lives in our building.” G.B., 7^th and 8^th grade High School teacher; Elmont
