This training is aimed at people in church, school, or individuals hoping to elevate their skill level – young, aged, teachers, students, women, men, etc. If you’re a teacher and would like some real-life considerations for rendering aid when needed and would like to have the mental wherewithal to avoid being a victim, this training is for you. Churches out there considering a security and first aid program, this training should offer the basis for a well-prepared body. This is a beginner’s level course, so don’t feel pressure to fall into a certain “box” in order to fully absorb and enjoy the day. This is vital and practical training.
BREAKDOWN:
-Morning Session 10am to Noon (First Responder, Basic Medical Attention, etc.)
-Noon to 1pm – break for lunch
-Afternoon Session 1pm to 3pm (Self Defense Strategy and Tactics including *Pepper Spray)
Extra Considerations: The cost of the basic training is FREE. There is a *Pepper Spray component that people can either watch or physically participate in for a $20 cost (see below for the Pepper Spray explanation). IFC has absorbed the cost of the training and Cornerstone Bible Fellowship is offering the use of its church and facilities. IFC will have a donation jar present for folks who wish to contribute – all proceeds will be given to Cornerstone Bible Fellowship.
*Pepper Spray Training: The pepper spray portion of the self-defense training can be viewed as a demonstration. However, if you’d like to participate, we encourage it. For $20, you’ll receive an inert canister to use during the training or use where you practice. Additionally, the $20 purchase includes a full-strength canister of pepper spray for self-defense use. You’ll get the feel for how these work with an inert canister, and also take home the “real deal” for your defense. This $20 pack will be available for purchase that day. There is no way to run through cards or verify checks during the training, so cash is the accepted method of payment.

ANTI-GUNNERS’ ULTIMATE GOAL? IT’S MAKING SELF-DEFENSE ILLEGAL.
This came across the transom recently, it’s a fifteen-minute Tucker Carlson video about the most important right we all have; this is your right to self-defense. Making self-defense illegal is the goal of the anti-gun leftist in America. It’s also the reason we at IFC have fought so hard to defend all of our Second Amendment rights, including the right to stand your ground.

Watch it, and remember the points he makes, along with the horror stories he tells about those who are prosecuted by dangerous quack District Attorneys around the country.

TRAINING NOTATION – This training is designed and offered in the spirit of preparedness basics. Terrible things can and do happen in this world. Mental preparation combined with training and practice offers you much better odds to avoid becoming a victim and to be able to come to the aid of others. This training is foundational to grasping very tough concepts. We naturally resist thinking outside our comfort zones. But… If we’re going to contradict evil and save lives, we do have to face the unpleasant nature of violence itself, and that begins with understanding it. When you’re truly ready for a perspective that offers a concrete reflection of violence and what is required to counter it, watch the IFC Warrior Wednesday Episode 29 with Ed Monk below:
Host Location: Fort Des Moines Church of Christ 244 E. Army Post Road Des Moines, IA 50315
Cost: Free (Suggested $20 free will donation to assist in covering Ed’s travel and lodging)
Seating is limited to 150 people, so RVSP today! IFC encourages members of law enforcement, church and school security teams, armed civilians and anyone interested in mitigating the threat of active killers to attend this science-based presentation.
Ed Monk grew up shooting firearms of all types from the time he was 5 years old. After going through West Point, he served as a U.S. Army Officer for 20 years retiring as a Lt. Colonel and Battalion Commander in 2007. Since retiring from the military, Ed has continued in Law Enforcement but also picked up a very specific training focus along the way. Ed became very interested in the study of active shooters and how to best stop them some years ago. After retiring, Ed sought out advanced levels of personal professional development by becoming a Rangemaster certified instructor (master level) for handguns, certified by ALERRT as a CRASE instructor and by Response Options (which became ALICE) as an instructor for Solo Officer Response to Active Killers.
From his lifetime of momentum of protection, came his laser focus on understanding and countering the active shooter threat. Ed began to see there was very little specific attention given towards training based on how to counter that threat it in a realistic, logical way that saves the most lives.
