Forcible entry work and GRABS performed under live fire, heat and smoke conditions. This class is about refining your forcible entry skills by putting them to the test, buying back time, and putting THEM first! Those 3 elements even just individually (but even more so altogether) will test, refine, humble and force you to take an honest look at your preparation, your skills set, and your ability to answer the call when you’re under stress.

We MUST:
1) Mask Up Quickly, NO EXCUSES!
2) Make the Force, NOT EXCUSES!
3) Make the GRAB, NOT EXCUSES!
