Your weapon stays yours.

Only after you can perform the basic technique correctly. Resistance should then be increased progressively rather than immediately training at maximum intensity.

Initially, yes. Later, vary the direction, timing, intensity, and type of attack to move from technical practice toward more realistic application.

Once the fundamentals are established, training with your normal equipment can make the exercises more realistic and reveal how your equipment affects movement and weapon protection.

Do not treat Weapon Protection as an isolated collection of techniques. Gradually combine positioning, self-protection, distance management, weapon handling, and control into complete situations.

You should have a solid understanding of the principles and be able to apply the fundamental skills of Module 1 reliably before progressing to the more advanced content of Module 2.

The course is designed for professional weapon carriers, including police, corrections, military, customs, security personnel, close protection professionals, and others who carry a firearm as part of their duties.

You will learn to recognize and prevent attempts to access your holster or weapon, protect your firearm during physical contact, break different grips, and regain control of the situation.

No. Module 1 provides the fundamental principles and skills of the SAMI-X PRO Weapon Protection Program.

Yes. Shooting skills and Weapon Protection address different problems. This course focuses specifically on situations where distance is lost and another person attempts to access your firearm.

No. The training starts before the attacker gains control of the weapon. Prevention, positioning, distance management, self-protection, and preventing access are essential parts of Module 1.

The course includes weapon and holster grabs from different directions, as well as situations where weapon access is combined with grabbing, holding, or striking attacks.

The principles, movements, and technical sequences can be systematically learned online and practiced solo. Partner training is required to realistically practice grabs, resistance, and physical interaction.

No. Practical partner training should be performed with appropriate training weapons such as Blue Guns, SIRT pistols, or comparable safe training equipment.

Not in the traditional sense. The focus is specifically on professional weapon carriers and combines personal protection with maintaining control of the firearm.

Yes. Module 1 includes distance creation, arm and body control, as well as transitions into control and takedown options.

The emphasis is not on athletic performance. The system focuses on functional principles, positioning, control, and simple transferable movement patterns.

Module 1 provides the foundation for the complete SAMI-X PRO program. The following modules progressively introduce more advanced Weapon Retention, tactical applications, and scenario-based training.
