IBDD Situational Awareness
The best self-defense tool you already have is your mind.
About This Class
Most threats don't announce themselves — they build. The IBDD framework gives you a repeatable mental process to identify what's normal, spot what's off, and make confident decisions before a situation escalates. This isn't about being paranoid. It's about being present. No firearm required — this class is pure mindset and awareness training that applies to every moment of your day.
What You'll Learn
- Understand and apply the four-step IBDD framework in real time
- Establish a personal baseline for any environment you enter
- Recognize pre-attack indicators and behavioral red flags
- Make faster, more confident decisions under stress
- Apply situational awareness to everyday locations: parking lots, restaurants, events
- Develop the habit of scanning and processing your environment automatically
Who Is This Class For?
Anyone who wants to feel safer and more confident in public — no firearm, no experience, no prerequisites required. This is one of our most popular beginner-friendly classes and a perfect first step for anyone who isn't sure they're ready for a firearms course yet.
Tactical Theresa's Tip
Theresa Rodgers, Founder
"I teach this framework because it saved me. Long before I ever carried a firearm, situational awareness kept me out of situations that could have gone very wrong. The IBDD framework — developed by Shelley Hill of The Complete Combatant — is the most practical, teachable awareness system I've ever encountered. Once you learn it, you can't un-see it. You'll use it every single day."
