R.A.C.S.: Realistic Advanced Combatives Seminar, returns for the fourth year and ninth seminar to the Dundee, Michigan CABELA’S on Saturday, October 11, 2008. The store is 17 miles north of Toledo, OH.


Already attended by residents of six States, R.A.C.S. goes far beyond what you learned in your basic CPL/CHL/CCW permit holder training. Taught by two internationally recognized law enforcement training experts, and surpassing conventional law enforcement training; R.A.C.S. is the key to mentally and physically preparing to fight for your life under the gravest of circumstances.


What do previous seminar graduates have to say about R.A.C.S.?


“This training is a must for individuals, both in law enforcement or those with a CPL/CCW license.”
- G. Brinker, Retired FBI Agent and Commander of The Owens College Police Academy.

“Within the first few moments of your R.A.C.S. seminar, it quickly became clear to me that my CCW training was simply not enough. I could not even consider myself as being prepared to prevail in an attack without having taken this course.”
- D. McCartney, Toledo, OH

“As a veteran police officer and trainer of 21 years, I firmly believe that R.A.C.S. is an essential part of training for anyone who is serious about personal defense.”
- J. Lehman, Ohio Police Chief

“Whether you are new to the realities of self defense, or just looking for a refresher, this seminar is time and money well spent. It delivers the real-life facts of protecting yourself without the usual gimmicks.”
- R. Schweinberg, Vermilion, OH

“This was a great, no-holds barred, down to the basics seminar taught by two men who have “been there and done that.” Their teaching style is easy to follow, is based on real-life experiences, and has made me much better prepared to handle a life-threatening situation.”
- G. Ulrich, Saline, MI

“Every police officer and CCW/CPL Permit holder needs to attend this seminar. It will change them forever, and put a new found respect towards what they may have to deal with in their everyday lives, in an ever-changing society. Thank you for opening my eyes just a little wider.”

I now feel much more knowledgeable regarding what it takes to survive in this day and age. I definitely recommend this seminar to all CCW holders.”
- P. Dragos, Niles, OH

“Sobering, hard-hitting dose of reality. Separates popular myths from street effective methods. Designed for responsible adult wishing to enhance their personal and family's safety. Not for 'Rambo Wannabees'. A must attend for anyone accepting the responsibility of carrying a weapon for defense. Don't leave home without this training.”
- R. Parnow, Crestline, OH

You might want to post more information about the course content and the instructors (in lieu of the testimonials). I tried to get some of it at the link you provided, but your web page loads painfully slowly for me (I have dial-up connection).

1. Rhino, we apologize for your troubles as our website is definitely geared and optimized for cable and DSL users.

2. W9ZEB, thanks for making the posting to assist Rhino. The images actually are not singular jpg's. But we do use unconventional software in the creation of our website and some web browsers may interpret them as such. Which admittedly, creates a bad situation for dial up users. But regardless, thank you for taking the time to assist your fellow board member.

3. We are seriously considering bringing the R.A.C.S. seminar to NW Indiana next spring.

Would anyone be interested in attending if the drive for you was to NW Indiana instead of Dundee, MI?

Dial up guys, if you wish to send your mailing address via PM, I will send you a flyer from the Dundee Seminar that will contain complete seminar information.

Racs ... thanks for the response!

I'd like to say I'm interested if you move it to Indiana, but it's going to be pretty much the same distance for since I live in west central Indiana.

The big thing, though, is that I already have too many training commitments for 2009 already. I'm going to have to pare my list just to make it viable both time-wise and financially.

Good luck, though. You should have plenty of interest regardless of your location.

I am VERY interested in Your Training Seminar
Bring it to Indiana
Im sure You will have a positive response to it in the Hossier state
