FFYL (Fight For Your Life) – AR Platform

FFYL (Fight For Your Life) class is designed for those seeking a realistic, intense training experience that will push participants both mentally and physically. This class is force-on-force and centers around fighting in urban environments, emphasizing practical techniques for real-world violent encounters. Each FFYL training session will focus on a different weapons platform. Over the year the training will include sessions on – Pistol, AR, Knife, AR vs Pistol, Knife vs Pistol, and full kit encounters. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you can expect:

Key Features:

• Realistic Urban Combat Training:

• The class will simulate violent encounters in urban settings, focusing on both individual and small-team tactics. You will practice fighting in and around structures, which mirrors the unpredictability and challenges of real-world scenarios.
• The class uses force-on-force training, meaning you’ll engage in live drills where you react to realistic threats, testing your ability to think and perform under stress.

• Failure and Repetition:

• This class is designed to challenge you, and you will likely fail often as you push your limits. Failure is expected—it’s part of the learning process. The goal is to improve through repetition, correct mistakes, and refine your responses until they become instinctual.
• The class focuses on follow-through behaviors—the automatic, reactive responses you need when under threat. By repeatedly practicing these behaviors, you’ll build the muscle memory and mental clarity required in a violent encounter.

• Physical and Mental Pushing:

• Be prepared to be pushed physically and mentally. This isn’t a leisurely class; it’s designed to break you down and force you to learn under pressure. The more you embrace this challenge, the more you will grow in your defensive and combat skills.

• Simunition Training:

• Simunition upper receivers, ammo, and protective headwear will be provided. Simunition (training ammunition) is a safer alternative to live rounds, but still offers a realistic experience, making it an essential tool for this high-stress, realistic training.
• Ammo allotment will be provided at the start, though the emphasis will be on low round counts. If you run out of your allotted ammo, additional rounds will be available for purchase.

What You’ll Need:

• Required Clothing:

• Long pants, closed-toed shoes, and a long-sleeve shirt are required to ensure proper protection during force-on-force drills. Please note that Simunition ammunition may leave a residue on your clothes.
• Hoodie (Highly Recommended): A hoodie will provide additional protection against impact in close-range engagements.

• Sturdy Belt:

• A sturdy belt is essential for securing any protective gear, holsters, or other equipment you may need for the class.

• AR Lower Receiver:

• Bring your AR lower receiver to complete the Simunition training setup. This is essential for engaging in the drills.

• Full Kit (Recommended):

1. Battle belt
2. Boots (durable and comfortable)
3. Gloves
4. Body armor (if available)

• No Live Ammunition or Knives:

• No live firearms, knives, or live ammunition are allowed. The use of Simunition ensures safety while still maintaining realism in your training experience.

Class Benefits:
