Strategic Protection of Self
(Advanced Unarmed Combatives)
Tactical Conflict Solutions (TCS) offers a variety of programs based on the core principles of our Strategic Protection of Self (SPOS) curriculum. Tactical Conflict Solutions pioneered the Strategic Protection of Self program.
Tactical Conflict Solutions is distinctive in the marketplace for our consultative approach to training. While all training is based on the core SPOS curriculum, we work with clients to identify protection and defensive needs of greatest importance to their staff, and then customise programs to focus on these elements. We do not run ‘one size fits all courses.’
The SPOS curriculum focuses on three key training modules:
| Unit Code | Unit | Training Period |
| TCS0107 | Primary Escape, Evasion and Self Defence Techniques | From 1½ Days |
| TCS0207 | Defending against Impact Weapon Attacks | From ½ Day |
| TCS0307 | Defending against Edged Weapon Attacks | From 2 Days |
Key learnings from the courses include:

- Understanding the reality of crime and learning to be "actively aware"
- Threat identification principles used by security and law enforcement agencies world wide
- Enhancing your safety within your work or home environment
- Escaping from common holds
- Defending empty handed strikes and kicks
- Identifying and stopping the weapon draw
- The "3 S" method of defending weapon attacks
- Defensive and offensive strategies
- Fighting from the ground
- How to improvise weapons for your defence
TCS provides regular refresher courses to ensure that front line company staff maintain their vigilence and defensive tactic skills
