"And He said to them, 'When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?' So they said, 'Nothing.' 36 Then He said to them, 'But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one...' So they said, 'Lord, look, here are two swords.' And He said to them, 'It is enough.' 39 Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him."
Luke 22:35
Psalm 94:16 "Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?"
At Sheepdog Security Ministry, we provide services to the Christian Community to assist them in preparing to resist violence in their communities. Whether it be in their churches, their schools or in their daily life, Christian communities need a resource to train them, help them plan for and respond to the violence that is welling up in the world against them. We want all Christians to live without fear; To have the answer to the question swimming around in every Christian's heart; "What would I do?" If you want to prepare your school, your church or your family to prevent, detect and respond to violence, we can help.

Course Goal: "Defending the Body of Christ"

Express Interest in This Course

To educate Christian men about their obligations to defend and protect their families and communities. Men are the designated first responders in any situation where defense is called for. This class will equip Christian men to take appropriate action in the face of violent aggressors. Attendees will come away knowing what advantages they have over their attackers, knowing how to approach a violent situation and how to systematically dismantle the body of their attacker. This course will teach a man how to think through his advantages and options in various threat scenarios. This course requires no techniques and is designed for the man who does not want to spend years of his life certifying in a martial art of some sort. It is designed to be common sense every day defense. Fierce, effective but simple.

 

Who should attend this course?

Christian men who are able to put up a fight..

Men who are not Christian but understand the moral obligation to protect themselves and those around them.

 

Objectives

By the end of this course, attendees should be able to;

  • Recognize the signs of a personal security threat and to prevent them from advancing (Prevent an attack from a known or unknown attacker)
  • Learn to trust your instinct regarding a threatening situation
  • Know when to take a physically defensive action
  • Understand the real risks of mental or physical assault by a known or unknown attacker.
  • Understand from a theological perspective, what the Church expects of you in the application of any of these personal security scenarios.
  • Understand your “advantages” over your attacker in an attack scenario and 
  • Know what God-Given weapons you have in order to create and leverage your advantages. 
  • Know what your goal is in the event of a personal security situation.
  • Apply a process for thinking through a response to an attack scenario that does not involve planning for that specific scenario in advance.
  • Understand “Projection of force”.
  • Understand the difference between “Strength” and “Force”.
  • Understand the difference between (and reasons for) “Causing pain” and “Causing injury”.
  • Know escape techniques for the most common restraint scenarios.
  • identify and leverage weaknesses your attacker does not know he has.
  • Weapons defenses, particularly gun to the head and knife defenses
  • Active Shooter application scenario (What to do if you have a chance)
  • Practice, practice, practice.

This is not a martial arts class. This is not a sporting event. In this class you will learn when, why and how to crush your attacker's body and to disable him. You do not need to have a desire to continue your training. You will not be learning "Techniques" or response scenarios that only work when that particular thing happens. You will learn that the human body is a machine that can quickly be damaged and destroyed.

    SSM Men's Defense Class Testimonials

    • Mr. Curl’s instruction helps the techniques become intuitive. I absolutely enjoyed the classes themselves, but I also really enjoyed the camaraderie we developed while being with the other guys taking the classes.
      Anonymous Attendee: "Defending the Body of Christ"
    • I had taken a very short introductory Karate course awhile back. Unlike those strategies, I feel that Mr. Curl’s classes are very real, and that I will now be able to handle real life threats.
      Dimitri Maricich Attendee: "Defending the Body of Christ"
    • Besides making the classes enormous fun, Mr. Curl taught self defense techniques in such a way as to make them very simple, helping me to feel competent right away and not feel that I would have to take classes for years like some martial arts classes, before I would be able to defend myself and others.
