Foundations of Control, Survival, and Defense for the Real World.

CONTROL THE ENCOUNTER. PROTECT THE WEAPON. SURVIVE THE FIGHT.

Violent encounters rarely happen at a comfortable distance.

They happen up close. They become physical. People grab, strike, wrestle, fall, reach for weapons, and make decisions under extreme pressure.

StrikeForce CITADEL Tactical: CORE Tactics is the foundational tactical training track of the StrikeForce Dynamics system.

Built from practical elements of Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo, Modern Krav Maga, and Tactical Defense, CORE Tactics develops the skills needed to function when a confrontation becomes physical, chaotic, and unpredictable.

This is not training built around points, competition rules, or memorizing techniques.

It is training built around control, survival, decision-making, weapon protection, and real-world application.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE TO ACT

CITADEL Tactical is designed for:

• Law Enforcement Officers

• Military Personnel

• Security Professionals

• First Responders

• Responsible Armed Citizens

• Concealed-Carry Permit Holders

• Open-Carry Citizens

• Professionals responsible for protecting others

Whether your objective is controlling a resisting person, protecting your weapon, escaping an assault, or surviving long enough to access the appropriate defensive option, CORE Tactics provides a structured foundation.

THE CORE TACTICS SYSTEM

CLINCH & CONTROL

Learn to operate when distance disappears.

Develop practical skills for establishing dominant positions, controlling movement, disrupting balance, executing takedowns, and managing a resisting person in confined environments.

Close the distance. Establish control. Stay functional.

TAKEDOWNS & GROUND SURVIVAL

Going to the ground may not be the objective—but you need answers when it happens.

Train wrestling, Judo, and Jiu-Jitsu concepts designed to help you remain mobile, establish control, regain your feet, and prevent an attacker from gaining positional or weapon access.

SURVIVAL & RESTRAINT

Not every confrontation requires the same response.

Develop control and restraint options for situations requiring physical intervention while maintaining the ability to transition when the level of resistance or threat changes.

Control when possible. Escalate capability when necessary.

STRIKING UNDER PRESSURE

Striking changes when weapons, equipment, confined spaces, and grappling are involved.

Train functional punches, elbows, knees, defensive movement, and close-range striking integrated with clinching, control, and weapon-retention considerations.

WEAPON RETENTION & DEFENSE

A weapon does not automatically make you safer.

Train around the problems created when an attacker grabs, reaches for, or attempts to interfere with a weapon.

Training includes:

• Weapon-retention concepts

• Protecting access to your weapon

• Defending against weapon grabs

• Drawing while under physical pressure

• Handgun-threat defensive concepts

• Edged-weapon defensive concepts

• Creating opportunities to disengage

FORCE-ON-FORCE & PRESSURE TESTING

Knowing a technique is different from performing it against resistance.

Students progressively apply their skills through controlled drills, resistance training, role-playing, protective equipment, and scenario-based exercises.

The objective is not simply to learn what to do.

The objective is developing the ability to recognize the problem, make a decision, and perform under pressure.

MORE THAN A COLLECTION OF TECHNIQUES

CITADEL Tactical develops a connected fighting and defensive framework:

Awareness → Position → Control → Protect → Defend → Disengage → Survive

Instead of collecting isolated techniques for isolated attacks, students learn principles that can be adapted as circumstances change.

The goal is simple:

BUILD CAPABILITY BEFORE YOU NEED IT.

TRAIN FOR THE MOMENT THE PLAN BREAKS DOWN

A violent encounter will not cooperate with your training plan.

The attacker may be bigger.

You may lose your footing.

Your weapon may become exposed.

Your hands may already be occupied.

You may be inside a vehicle, hallway, doorway, parking lot, or confined space.

You may have to protect another person.

You may need to control someone without seriously injuring them.

CITADEL Tactical prepares you to solve problems when the situation stops being predictable.

BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION

If you carry a weapon, protect others professionally, or accept responsibility for your own personal defense, equipment alone is not enough.

Build the physical skills to support the responsibility.

Develop your control.

Develop your striking.

Develop your grappling.

Develop your weapon-retention skills.

Develop your decision-making under pressure.
