Simply put, NTS offers two things: Process and Content.
Process refers to the method of instruction, both the structure and technique of teaching for the most beneficial learning to occur. We define optimal learning as the ability to evaluate and chose proper responses under stress then to perform those skills to a high degree.
Content refers to specific techniques and tactics we have seen to work in real life encounters. We are not about any techniques set in stone but prefer principles. We have a method for evaluation which is person and situation specific.
Our goal is to create a collaborative network of instructors, trainers, organizations, businesses, and agencies around the world.
It’s time to change the narrative about training. It’s time to cut out the red tape and get the most practical, actionable training and knowledge out to those who need it.

The ancient Greeks believed that every person has it within them to be a hero. They defined a hero as a protector; someone who has the ability to not only look after himself or herself, but also to look after someone else. They have the physical abilities, the knowledge, and the desire to serve. The core strengths of the hero are compassion, love and a commitment to something bigger than themselves. Law enforcement is a profession of heroes and Winning Mind Training’s mission is to serve those heroes through practical training in leadership, mindset and professional development for trainers.
Brave Defender Training Group is proudly recognized as a Veteran Owned Business and is 100 percent owned by a Military and Law Enforcement Veteran that continues to serve in both roles. Our strategy is to bring our experience and training to you. We only employ instructors that have a background in Military or Law Enforcement instructing. There are a tremendous number of instructors out there with various military experience, but sometimes that experience fails to translate into being an effective instructor or into civilian Law Enforcement application. Our team is able to translate military combat experience into what applies for civilian Law Enforcement.
There are many good tactics and techniques and many bad ones being taught. We don’t believe in a one size fits all approach to tactical problems. With those concepts in mind we largely focus on principles to allow the user to be more flexible in their response to a situation.
