Expandable Baton Concept

SAMICS new series of courses offers the possibility for a professional instructor training in use of the Expandable Baton (EBC).

Our newly developed EBC – Expandable Baton Concept is a 6-step modular training system. The system is based on best-practice techniques and training focuses on the development of both defensive and offensive skills for use by operative forces, law enforcement agencies, security services and interested civilians.

The content of each module is self-contained, whereby Module 1 is the base requirement for subsequent training modules.

Modules

Module 1 – Basics

Module 2 – Control – Standing tactics

Module 3 – Control – Ground tactics

Module 4 – Armed attacks

Module 5 – Team work

Module 6 – Specials

On successful completion of each module candidates will be certified to hold their own EBC training courses.
