TRICOM: Counter Assault Tactics (C.A.T.)

Survive The Ambush. Survive The Fight.

TRICOM Counter Assault Tactics (CAT) focuses on empty-hand defensive tactics against the most common types of weapon and non-weapon based street attacks. This could be a knife attack, a sucker punch, a tackle etc. We look at a common core set of techniques and tactics that can be utilized to defend against a variety of assaults, therefore allowing a more streamlined response to various threat stimulus within a limited amount of training. This course also builds a strong basis upon which participants can build if they want to take a deeper dive into the different kinds of threats and responses that we will be training for.

What's included

  • A focused set of core responses to surprise close-quarters assault
  • Techniques that apply across multiple attack types (strikes, takedowns, edged weapons, close-range weapon attacks)
  • Built on TRICOM's simplicity-first principle: fewer techniques, faster retention, more reliable recall under stress
