Hostage & Abduction Seminar
(Saturday April 13th 10:15 AM - 11:45 AM)
This seminar is for adults aged 18+ of any experience level.
You don’t have to be a celebrity to be abducted or kidnapped, in fact anyone can be targeted as the victim of an express-kidnapping - one where, you are abducted and taken to a series of ATM’s to withdraw cash, before being left in some remote place, usually drugged etc. In 2013 Amy Lord, a South Boston resident was murdered after an express-kidnapping, so what may seem like a financially motivated crime can and may result in a homicide.
Book Seminar
In this 90-minute seminar, you will learn about the differences between kidnappings, hostage takings, and abductions along with the criminal motivations behind them. You will learn how
to make risk assessments as to the likelihood of being targeted, and how to lower/reduce your profile as a potential victim (target-hardening). You will learn physical techniques to deal with
common scenarios, against both armed and unarmed assailants, and how to intervene on the behalf of others who you may see being abducted/kidnapped.
You will also be given an overview, as to how the authorities and security agencies respond and operate when dealing with hostage situations/scenarios, and how to act and behave if you find yourself in one. This seminar is open to the public, all levels welcome. Registration includes a Free, signed copy of Gershon's book, Krav Maga: Extreme Survival.
The seminar will be taught by Gershon Ben Keren, with a personal-safety/self-protection component founded on well researched criminological theories, and his thirty plus years’ experience working in the security industry. You can read more about his education, training, and experience by clicking here.
