Fight Hacker: Escapeology (FH-1) | September 1-2, 2023 | Fort Honey Badger, Jacksonville, TX

Escapeology: the science of relocating from a place of disadvantage to a place of opportunity. 

Forward Training Concepts “Fight Hacker: Escapeology” (FH-1) is a 2 day (16-hour) instructional class focused on understanding, actualizing, and building functional principles, concepts, and skills of purposeful movement – both unarmed and armed applications while progressing from disadvantageous position/situation to dominating the fight. 

Escape is often perceived as disengagement, retreat, as “running away”. 

In the context of trained applicable tactics, escape is a controlled reset of the initiative. 

Loading the process of that reset with robust proactive measures and trained and pressure tested multi-disciplinary skills transforms it from hasty retreat into wholesome, quick, and seamless transition to the situation of opportunity and domination.
