Classes were developed for the first time shooter or the S.W.A.T. team member with the will to learn a different way to eliminate the threat. The concept is based on and follows the Israeli anti-terrorism training system. I.C.S. courses are basic but very intense with minimal classroom time. All classes are 95% hands-on, physically challenging and a dynamic learning experience. One of the I.C.S. key elements is "working" under stress and the student will be exposed to different levels of stress and fatigue. The system uses the bio-mechanics of the body, which makes it easy to learn, same as the Israeli Krav Maga. Minor adjustments can be made based on the student proficiency level, age and physical ability. If it is determined that the student will be a risk to himself/herself and the other students, the student will be removed from the class and have the option to be placed in a "basic" one-on-one private lesson.

One of the training options that I.C.S. provides is an advanced course that provides tactical pistol shooting and Krav Maga technique, a result of which brings the student closer to the Israeli counter-terrorism/crime fighting training and can be used for personal or home defense as well as for law enforcement training. The basic class covers two days, I.C.S. Basic, Day One and Day Two. Half-way through the first day the student will be under pressure, mentally and physically. During the two days the student will receive the BASIC knowledge of the Israel anti-terrorism training/crime fighting technique that is based on instinctive shooting/point shooting and uses the bio-mechanics of the body. All classes, including Krav Maga, are a minimum of 8 students and a maximum of 12 students. Class Locations
