- Basic position, movement, and counters against an attacker closing in with a (very common) grab, bear hug, or sloppy takedown.

- Gun Disturbance Drill
- Gun seminar at Paul Evans Martial Arts in Salt Lake City, UT
- Holding Barrel During Discharge
- KM and Live Firearms Drills
- Originally dubbed "circle of death" drill by students. Anything goes; the defender must stand passively, eyes closed, and return to that state between defenses. He can be attacked or threatened with anything at all: handgun, long gun, knife, stick, punches, kicks, chokes, bearhugs, etc. In this video, the defender had to perform this after more than 5 hours of hard testing and training.
- Random, non-stop gun threats
- Street Clothes Week Video
- This is a simple, aggressive drill, with many variations, that can be done at all Levels. In this version, the defender begins with eyes closed and must deal with a choke. Once they have defended and neutralized the assailant, they must break through a barricade of pads, and then kick aggressively before they are done.
- This is a training drill combining Krav Maga combatives and Thrusters - a common CrossFit exercise.
