About VBM

Defensive Tactics Technologies’ Violent Behavior Management program has been designed to provide law enforcement, security, hospitals, public schools and other civil service communities with the tools to resolve conflict with maximum efficiency and minimal effort.  We teach crisis evaluation skills along with realistic verbal diffusion and conversational re-direction techniques.  DTT is the first line of defensive tactics that neutralizes single or multiple attackers while allowing the possibility for lowering the force that is presented by the aggressor(s).

My goal with Defensive Tactics Technologies (DTT) is to fill what I’ve seen as a growing void in the defensive tactics training field.  DTT is unique in its principle of GST, providing a defender with the possibility of not being grabbed, struck or taken down in a conflict.  DTT is the culmination of over thirty years of training with many of the great martial arts master, including at present Master Steven Seagal.  This experience in tradition, combined with a practical and contemporary viewpoint, has borne a defensive tactics system suited for today’s situations and consideration.  I want students to come out of this program not just with defensive techniques, but with a new orientation that provides for the possibility of dealing with the impossible.
