We provide reality-based training, and that includes training under duress. It's easy to train under ideal conditions, but you should also be training for real-life challenges. Sensory deprivation, bad weather, simulated injury and unconventional cover are just some of the tools that we use to enhance our students' training. What does the next fight look like? What would you really do in a fight for your life?
Our Advanced Combat Pistol (ACP) Course is custom designed by T3i’s lead tactical instructor, Henk Iverson, and forms part of the HITS Fighting System. Pistols are seen as a “secondary weapon” – and this cannot be further from the truth. If your carbine goes down, your pistol becomes your “primary weapon” in an instant.
T3i teaches the custom designed HITS fighting system developed over 3 decades by Henk Iverson. These courses use a methodology uniquely designed to train operators with a range of fighting experience to seamlessly integrate our fighting skills into the operator’s mastered skills and tactics knowledge.
Not all people learn the same way and at T3i Lone Operator we acknowledge that fact. Through many years of experience, we have found a middle path to assure that all students benefit from our training. The training methodology we use for our T3i Lone Operator courses is: EDIPExplanation: Explanation by the instructors to WHY we use this tactic or technique Demonstration: Instructors demonstrate the tactics and techniquesImitation: Students imitate what was taught to them by T3i staff. Instructors oversee and correct any problems during this phase of training.Practice: Students practice the tactics and techniques under the supervision of T3i staff. Repetition is reinforced throughout and the key to subconscious competency – our goal.
To augment our training strategies and techniques, we use a building block system where we add strategies only when students have mastered what was taught to them before. Each course day begins with a review of the preceding day's instruction and ends with a graded level qualification and stress shoot. We do not just check boxes. Our students leave with lifelong tactical knowledge and skills.
Today, we honor the bravery, dedication, and unwavering spirit of the Marines—past, present, and future. For 249 years, the Marines have stood as a symbol of courage and resilience, defending our nation with honor and commitment. Thank you for your service, sacrifice, and the legacy you carry forward every day. Today, we celebrate YOU and all that you stand for. 🇺🇸 Semper Fidelis!
T3i had the privilege of visiting Ukraine’s Drone Warfare School. Their FPV course is incredible. The students graduate and are immediately deployed to the zero line. Every military on the planet should be taking note and updating their tactics and capabilities. I would put any one of their new graduates up against any ground SOF unit with devastating results. We are way behind and have a lot to learn from Ukraine. The photo is of the headmaster of the school and some of his instructors. One of the instructors in the photo is a national treasure because of the level of success he has had on the battlefield (all of them are heroes). The faces and patches are blurred to conceal their identifies for obvious reasons. We let them know that our country supports them, especially Texas.
The AFPHE (Advanced Force Protection in Hostile Environments) is our foundational course. Operators will learn diverse skills ranging from deceptive striking techniques, hand power strikes, leg kicks, knife strikes, shooting integrated into hand-to-hand fighting, concealing and employing weapons in your clothing.
