Learn to control the fight—before it controls you. The Control Tactics Course from Crain Defense Solutions equips everyday citizens with the practical skills to safely and effectively manage a physical confrontation. This hands-on class focuses on real-world, proven techniques based on fundamental control concepts and jiu-jitsu-inspired movements designed for self-defense, not sport. Students will learn how to respond when a situation turns physical—how to defend against grabs, manage distance, control an assailant, and de-escalate safely without relying solely on striking or weapons. The emphasis is on technique, leverage, and composure under pressure, allowing you to handle encounters with skill and confidence regardless of size or strength differences. Through guided instruction and controlled drills, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of body mechanics, joint control, and positional dominance—skills that empower you to protect yourself and others while maintaining legal and ethical awareness in self-defense situations.
