All Elite Training programs are taught in 3 levels of training:
Static – Step-by-step and by-the-numbers to learn any new technique or skill. This is how you begin to build a neural pathway in the brain. You build a “conditioned stimulus response” to any specific “stimuli” threat.
Fluid – At this level of training you begin to put the technique and skill together with a response to a specific stimulus in a fluid / flowing manner. At a “slow is smooth . . . smooth becomes fast” speed.
Dynamic – Real world speed with no “fixed rules” or “willing partner assistance” with a preplanned attack. The student takes the above two levels they have developed and reacts to an unknown attack. At this level you must be able to perform without conscious thought, only with a reaction that has been built through your training.
Professor Welch has been actively training local, county, state, and federal law enforcement personnel in tactical and firearms for close to twenty-five years.
