When it comes to self-defense, many people focus on physical skills—drawing a firearm, striking an attacker, or executing a defensive maneuver. But in real-world situations, the most critical skill isn’t just how fast you react, but how well you make decisions under stress.
At On Point Defense Training, we offer Image-Based Decisional Drills (IBDD), a unique course designed to sharpen your ability to assess threats, make sound decisions, and take appropriate action in high-stress situations.
What Are Image-Based Decisional Drills?
Image-Based Decisional Drills (IBDD) is a visual training method that presents real-life scenarios in a controlled learning environment. Instead of just practicing physical skills in isolation, this course forces you to think before you act, simulating the split-second decision-making process required in actual self-defense situations.
During the course, you will be presented with a variety of real-world images depicting different situations—some of which may require action, while others may not. Your challenge is to quickly:
Assess the situation
Identify potential threats
Decide on the most appropriate response
Take action accordingly
Why Decision-Making Skills Matter in Self-Defense
Many traditional firearms or self-defense courses focus on physical skills first, decision-making second. But in a real-world encounter, your ability to assess and decide is just as important as your ability to act.
Here’s why decisional drills are essential for anyone serious about self-defense:
✅ Avoiding Unnecessary Conflict – Not every situation requires force. Learning to identify potential threats versus non-threats ensures you make legally and morally sound decisions.
✅ Training Your Brain to Work Under Stress – When adrenaline kicks in, your brain can struggle to process information clearly. By training with real-world images, you develop faster, more accurate decision-making skills even in high-pressure situations.
✅ Enhancing Situational Awareness – Recognizing pre-attack indicators and understanding body language cues can give you an early warning before a situation turns dangerous.
✅ Bridging the Gap Between Training and Reality – Most self-defense situations unfold quickly and unpredictably. Practicing decisional drills helps you transition from training in a controlled environment to making rapid, correct choices in real life.
What You’ll Learn in the Image-Based Decisional Drills Course
In this hands-on, interactive course, you’ll experience:
✔️ Real-world scenario analysis – You’ll be exposed to a variety of images depicting everyday situations that could turn dangerous. You must quickly analyze and decide the best course of action.
✔️ Force-on-force decision-making – Sometimes, you need to act. Other times, de-escalation is the best choice. Learn when to draw, engage, or disengage based on what you see.
✔️ Verbal and non-verbal conflict resolution – Not all self-defense situations require physical force. Learn de-escalation techniques and how to manage confrontations effectively.
✔️ The importance of legal and ethical decision-making – Understanding use-of-force laws is crucial. We’ll discuss legal considerations, ensuring you make the right choices both in the moment and in court.
