S.D.A Civilian Force Continuum
A Sanami Defense Academy Signature Course
In a world where civilians are expected to face confrontation without a clear map, the Sanami Civilian Force Continuum offers more than instruction—it provides a real-world protocol for making decisions with clarity, confidence, and legal awareness.
This is not a martial arts class.
This is not a firearms course.
This is a scenario-based training experience built around the decisions that matter most:
-
When should I walk away?
-
When am I legally justified to act?
-
What happens if I make the wrong call?
We don’t teach fantasy. We teach functional thinking under pressure. This course gives you a structured, tested method for identifying threats, selecting the appropriate level of force, and understanding what happens next—legally, morally, and ethically.
What Makes This Class Different
Scenario-Based Learning
You'll work through real situations: street encounters, home defense, public incidents. Roleplay, group analysis, and guided decision-making build internal confidence and response clarity.
Legal and Ethical Navigation
Understand how the law views your actions—and how to protect yourself from the legal aftermath of a justified use-of-force encounter.
Morality Meets Action
It’s not just about being right. It’s about being prepared to live with the results. This course sharpens your judgment and personal responsibility.
Designed for Civilians
No military jargon. No tactical fantasy. This course is for the everyday citizen carrying a weapon, carrying pepper spray, or carrying the weight of responsibility.
Who This Is For
-
The concealed carrier unsure of when to act
-
The parent who wants to protect their family—but not overreact
-
The young adult preparing for independence in uncertain environments
-
The professional seeking peace of mind through realistic training
Why It Matters
The difference between survival and a criminal charge is often one second.
The Sanami Civilian Force Continuum helps you prepare for that moment—before it happens.
If you’ve ever asked:
“Will I know what to do when it matters?”
This class is your answer.
