Are you wanting to work in the security industry?
Learn the dynamics of protection while working in a uniformed function. Most security companies require you to take this course prior to carrying handcuffs and baton on the job. The HFRG Defensive Tactics Program, previously known as Pressure Point Control Tactics (PPCT), focuses on your ability to identify threat indicators leading up to an incident, proper positioning for safety, match appropriate uses of force to situations, and understand the legal responsibility you have in these situations.
Some staff only require the defensive tactics and handcuffing portion for their position (16 hour). It is a requirement from the Alberta Solicitor General to take the full 40 hour program to carry a baton.

Are you wanting to work as a security guard or other security services?
This is the government-required program to obtain your Security Services license. This is a classroom program allowing the student to interact with others and the instructor to get the maximum learning experience to equip you for the job. Completing this course opens many doors of employment.
Subsidies are available through WCB, Alberta Works and Indigenous bands.

I’m very happy to have completed the 100+ hour program with regards to VIP Protection in Israel. All the instructors were put through IKMF KRAV MAGA technique as delivered by high level experts in their field. This included KRAV MAGA combat, shooting, driving and other subjects specific to the VIP Protection requirement.

Very empowering. It's quite the work out and gratifying too. Thank you Dave.

Under the tutelage of Dave Suffern,

1. Self-defence movement and reaction, are taught as responses to particular scenarios such as being choked, headlocks, grabbed or pinned against a wall. The scenarios are practiced regularly until they become instinctive.

2. Fighting skills: Movement, punching, kicking, elbowing, headbutting, palm-heels, falling, blocking… anything and everything that will help you to get away from the attack or to overcome the attacker or attackers.

3. The tactical conditioning - The fight (avoidance), during the fight (Body defense, defense, counterattack, and getting to safety. Relative distance, reading body language and treats.

- Wish I was taught this many years ago...I STRONGLY suggest that You, your wife, daughter or son would benefit greatly from the self-defense combative of Krav Maga. Dave Suffern is a man who cares and promotes healthy choices and supports fitness. Love this guy and so will you

Training in Krav Maga at Tip of Spear has been a life changer for me. The class options and facility location are ideal, allowing me to attend classes at my convenience. This is the only school in Edmonton offering IKMF Krav Maga, the original and leading organization for Krav Maga worldwide. Krav Maga is an easy to learn, practical, and effective system of personal protection that teaches prevention, recognizing risk and counter combat. Most importantly instructor David Suffern is the best this city has to offer. Of all the classes, workshops, and courses I have ever attended, Dave has an instruction style second to none. He pushes his students to their personal best with respect, humor, humility, and a wealth of experience he relates back to real-world application. I have found comfort, encouragement, and a sense of belonging with my fellow students. Being confident in my ability to defend myself gives me a sense of peace and security that is priceless! I can walk down the street, go out at night or travel in a foreign country with confidence. Thank you Tip of Spear and Dave for encouraging my personal growth in every aspect… mentally, emotionally and physically I am becoming a stronger person as a result of these classes and am forever grateful.

The way that the tactics and theory are conveyed to students is amazing, safest way to be in the moment without actually being in the moment the lives are changed for the better or worse. They give you the tools to make it as much your choice as you can safely do.

The training was excellent. Dave made everything make sense and put the techniques into real world scenarios. He kept it enjoyable and pertinent. This was my first time at T.O.S. and was an excellent refresher with new skills added.



Thanks for the great training Dave!!

Technical and passionate Dave brings invaluable real world experience to the training and has an energy while teaching that many aspire to. Keep up the awesome work Dave

I wish I had taken Dave's ABST course a long time ago!

I really enjoy the classes. It is fun but intense. The instructor takes the time to explain the technic and to correct you.

I love how he really dose help you out. I now can Handcuff a person. And wow! Thanks Dave for the Help!!! I would for sure get people to go.

I love KRAV MAGA! But only if it is taught by Dave Suffern, he is warm, welcoming and truly an expert in the field. My very first day I learnt how to defend myself and left with skills ready to use! While Dave challenges you to do your best, he is also understanding of any limitations you may have and will work with you to develop your skills! Not only do you learn Self Defence but you get a great workout and a boost in self confidence as well! As a single women living alone, I feel better knowing that I can protect myself if I need to. Try it out!

I highly recommend Tip of Spear to anyone new or Grandfathered. Dave is extremely professional, knows his stuff, is highly trained and has years of experience in the industry. He is the man behind the spear and his staff is just as sharp. Karen will most likely be your first contact and first smiling face you see when you walk through the door. She will help set you up for success from beginning to end, she makes the application process a breeze and will make sure you know what you need to do next. Im going back for more. See you there!!

I have figured out how today was so different from every other training session on difficult customers. Having someone watch how you handle situations and inadvertently escalate is an invaluable tool. For the first time I feel that I can enter a negative situation with a framework and tools to get what I need from customers with minimal pushback. There is such a difference between theory and practice and this was the perfect balance. This is what our staff have been asking for. Thank you.

He a great trainer and pushes you and answer all your question

Great class. Dave has now become one of my most favorite humans on earth with his humour. Really great teacher and very patient. Highly recommended!!

Great Instructor. Wealth of knowledge, training and experience. Highly recommend any/all his courses!!!!

First rate training that combines classroom teaching with 'real life' situations that security professionals and peace officers could face while on duty.

First class was hard but very informative and I can't wait till next class!!

Dave always goes above and beyond when it comes to teaching these courses. From classroom to field you cannot go wrong with any of the courses provided, easy to follow, and lots of hands on instruction. 10 out of 10 would recommend every time!

Awesome training facility and Instructor. Would reccomanded to get your training done here.
