  About the MALC Physical Tactics Training Center:

  MALC Training has a long history of providing real-world based training for those who might find themselves in harms way. We have traditionally accomplished this through weekend based training events. As time has progressed, we came to realize many of our local students wanted to train deeper in martial arts styles on an ongoing basis. As such, we have launched the MALC Physical Tactics Training Center

  The new center has an open padded floor and a dedication to training for self-defense combatives. We are not focused on sport events nor are we focused on developing more black-belts. We will remain focused on training individuals to survive violent encounters.

  About This Course:

  If you carry a weapon for self-defense, you need to know how that weapon will perform in a real fight. If you are wounded, you best know the realities of your wound.

  Many myths surround firearms, knives, impact weapons, and bare fists. The realities are often far different. Understanding and being able to visualize human anatomy during a violent encounter will allow you a better ability to survive those encounters.

  Taught by a medical doctor, this training will allow you to neutralize your attacker more effectively, reducing your own risk and the risk of those you want to protect.

  Doc really talks about the various places vital organs are at on a person. He actually does this by having people put on a t-shirt and drawing in 3D where various things are located. He then talks about what a firearm wound or knife wound in various locations really means to survivability and the ability to continue to fight.
  
  The course really helps bridge the gap between the worlds of firearms, knives, and medical. It is good for medical people to understand the real places you need to be worried about, and it is good for firearms/knife people to know where to really hit to do damage.
  

  Topics Covered:

  • Ballistics in the human body

  • Vulnerable regions of the body and the methods to target these areas

  • Understanding of physiology and anatomy

  • Incapacitation and immobilization

  • Myths vs. Realities

  • Bullets vs. Blades vs. Batons

  • Simulated 3D targeting with simunition/airsoft

  Equipment Required:

  All equipment will be provided.

  Prerequisites:

  None

  Notes:

  Applicable to all medical skills levels. The course is ideal for concealed carry citizens, police officers, or other first responders who may encounter potentially violent individuals or may find themselves having to treat wounds from weapons.

  About This Course:

  We want to think our church is a place of refuge where we can safely grow a relationship with our God, family, and fellow congregation. Unfortunately, churches are quickly becoming one of the most targeted places for violence.

  Many churches have started safety or security teams, but they often lack the ability to give proper training and guidance to the team members. In too many instances the church board simply finds the person in the congregation who happens to be a police officer, tags them to develop a security plan, and then opens it up to volunteers. While this is certainly better than having nothing in place, this approach can leave many holes in a fully comprehensive security plan.

  Getting a full team together to offer training has issues. People have complicated schedules. Training facilities are limited. Training courses may offer some of the base skills, but they are not tailored to the church environment.

  While we offer full advisement, planning, and training packages to churches, we found many other instances where individual safety team members understand it is “up to them” to get the training required. This course will help individuals who have been tasked to serve their church in a security or safety team role to be better prepared. In addition, several topics will be discussed they can take back to their organizations to help implement a more comprehensive plan.

  Topics Covered:

  Situational Awareness before, during, and after the service

  De-escalation techniques for church environments

  Firearms and other weapons considerations

  Safeguarding the offering and financial contributions

  Protecting the children

  Medical issues, fires, weather events, and other safety emergencies

  Legal liability

  Equipment Required:

  Notepad and Pen

  Prerequisites:

  None

  Notes:

  This course is primarily aimed at individual safety team members but will help guide the basis for an overall church plan.

  This is a fast paced course with many topics covered

  About This Course:

  Many people think they know how to operate a rifle and shoot accurately. For most, this has included taking their rifle to a range and shooting at paper targets until they could consistently hit a bull’s-eye. However, this is NOT fighting with your rifle. Can you rapidly deploy your rifle in a stressful situation, clear any malfunctions, and make successful hits all within 3 seconds?
  If you are new to the AR platform, or have only used it for target practice, this is a vital course. This a basic level course, but even more experienced weapon operators will gain additional experience in using the weapon for defensive situations.

  This course covers proper stance and grip, and covers topics such as point-of-aim versus point-of impact, various methods to sight your rifle, reloads, and weapon malfunctions. Discussion will include different optics, slings, and other rifle accessories.

  Required Equipment:

  Good quality magazine fed weapon (AR platform in 5.56/.223, 9mm, 6.8spc, etc.)

  Approximately 100 rounds of rifle ammunition

  Rifle Sling

  2 extra rifle magazines and a method to carry those magazines

  If there is something you do not have, inform us in advance and we can arrange for you to borrow.

  All participants should bring ear and eye protection and dress appropriately for the weather.

  We do have AR rifle’s available for rental including ammunition (Please Inquire for current prices).

  Why This Course:

  If you are an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys going to new places to explore, hunt, camp or hike you can find yourself in unfamiliar terrain.  Take a shortcut, hit a trail closed marker, or need to escape weather, or chase that deer a little further than you expected and next thing you know you can become lost.  Even if you aren’t worried about being lost, the ability to read a map and confidently move around gives you more options when you are exploring new areas.

  If you are a member of a Search and Rescue team, understanding terrain and reading maps are vital skills.  In addition, you never want to become another victim in an already difficult situation.  If you are preparing for your NASAR SARTECH 2 certification, Land Navigation is one of the most failed portions of the practical test.

  Topics Covered:

  • Map Reading
  • Terrain Features on Paper vs. Reality
  • Route Planning
  • Team Movement
  • Solo Movement
  • Night Navigation

  Equipment Needed:

  • Compass (Orienteering Type of Military Lensatic)
  • Map Protractor
  • Water carrying source (Camelback, Nalgene, Canteen, etc)
  • Survival Knife
  • 50 feet of 550 paracord
  • Lighter
  • 2 medium size carabiners (they do NOT need to be weight bearing)
  • Good hiking boots
  • Long sleeves and long pants
  • Small “boo-boo” first aid kit

  Note:

  This course will go into the evening for the night navigation and start again early the next morning.  Please plan on sleeping close to the training facility or you will be extremely tired day 2.

Can you tell who may be out of place in the room without looking at facial features or clothing? Not just to predict threats, but to spot potential allies, potential obstacles, etc. You need to be able to walk in a room and know if something goes wrong, who might be able help you as much as who might be there to hurt you.

  The skills learned in this course will help prepare you to excel in the later courses in the series.

  This course will cover the following topics:

  • Increasing Overall Situational Awareness

  • Reading and Interpreting the Baseline

  • Reading and Interpreting Clues in the Flow

  • Reading and Interpreting Body Language from a Distance

  • Reading and Interpreting Body Language during Conversation

  Course Description:

  Have you taken our Defensive Handgun Level 1 and ready for a fast-paced day to take your skills to the next level?

  Research and our own experience in our Force-on-Force classes show one of the most common injuries in a fight are injuries to the hands.  If you take one of your hands out of the fight, can you still properly operate your weapon?

  This course will take the skills you learned about drawing your weapon, reloading, and clearing malfunctions, and force you to do all these things with one hand out of play.  In addition, we will work on drawing from compromised positions and introduce you to the concepts of reactionary shooting (shooting through the draw without a sight picture).

  In addition, this course will combine Moving & Shooting skills, where you will learn how to effectively shoot while moving.

  Standing still in a gunfight will get you killed.  You are either pressing the attack, retreating, moving toward cover, or moving toward an objective.  Being able to manipulate your weapon one handed, weak handed, and while moving are vital to your success.  This course will make extensive use of footwork, weapon control, and shot placement while on the move.

  Equipment Required:

  • Semi-Automatic Handgun
  • Holster (NO Serpa Holsters due to insurance regulations)
  • 3 Magazines
  • Magazine carry method
  • Approximately 350 rounds of ammunition
  • Eye and Ear protection

  Prerequisites:

  Defensive Handgun Level 1.

  If you have attended a defensive handgun course at another facility where you are familiar with drawing from a holster and clearing all malfunctions you will be accepted.

  About This Course:

  Tactical Medicine is based off the Department of Defense's Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). TECC has been modified in 2023 to be more applicable to students working in the Continental United States in Civilian Settings.  This is a demanding course where students will learn skills and knowledge to help prevent the loss of life while in a high threat environment. The skills learned will be equally applicable for self-aid, or in aid of others. This is not a first aid course. This course deals with life threatening injuries due to traumatic injuries. Students will learn to operate in austere conditions, with limited equipment and limited access to higher trained medical personnel. This course will also deal with situations where transport to hospitals may be delayed.

  This course will go deep into the use of the IFAK equipment. Specials skills will include medical assessment, commercial and improvised Tourniquet application in a timely manner, wound packing including the use of pressure points, NPA use and insertion, and patient movement including drags and carries. Students will learn to deal with stress inducing situations including missing or broken equipment and combative patients.

  This course is a mix of lecture and field drills. This course is moderately physical in nature, and students should expect plenty of movement including lifting and running.

  Since this is a TECC course, students will learn surgical airways, meds/fluids, and needle decompressions. Some skills taught may or may not be applicable based on your current credentials. It is the students responsibility to know if the skills taught are covered under their current certification level and local protocols.

  Equipment required:

  All equipment will be provided.  Come dressed such that you can get on the ground.

  Prerequisites:

  Students should have attended the Stop Their Bleeding, Keep Them Breathing, but it is not required.
  
  Notes:
  

  This course is open to participants as young as 14 with a parent also attending.

  Class will run from 10am until 5pm on Saturday, and 9am until 5pm on Sunday. 

  Class will give participants a 3 year certification from the National Association of Professional Responders, Recognized by the Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (www.c-tecc.org)

  The inevitable thing about being in a gunfight is that the goodguy can get hurt. Often that includes you getting hurt.

This course will help you prepare to do both.
