Frequently Asked Questions

What is the premise of the First Person Defender show?

First Person Defender places regular individuals in realistic force-on-force self-defense scenarios using non-lethal training firearms. The show aims to test and improve participants' skills and decision-making under simulated high-stress situations.

What tactical advantage does using cover provide in a self-defense situation?

Cover, such as a counter or display rack, provides concealment, making it harder for an attacker to target you. It also offers a stable platform for shooting, allowing for more accurate engagement while minimizing your exposure.

What is the difference between 'rolling' and 'leaning' when shooting from cover?

Rolling involves keeping your lead foot forward and rotating your torso to expose yourself minimally while shooting. Leaning is less effective as it exposes more of your body and can be a less stable shooting posture.

Why is proactive awareness and avoidance important in self-defense?

Proactive awareness means recognizing potential threats or 'knuckleheads' before they escalate. Avoidance involves moving to a safer position or de-escalating the situation, which is always preferable to engaging in a violent confrontation.
