Level 1 Outlines
Below are the five current (Revised September 2006) Level 1 Reality-Based Personal Protection outlines that are taught around the world by current certified Jim Wagner Reality-Based Personal Protection instructors (those instructors recently certifed or current members of the World Reality-Based Personal Protection Association).
These outlines contain only the headlines. They do not contain the sub-headlines, nor do they contained the detailed descriptions of the techniques.
These posted outlines are for two purposes:
1. For future students or instructors considering signing up for one or more courses with Jim Wagner and who wish to have a general idea as to what will be taught.
2. For those students who are about to, or are in the process of, taking lessons from a certified Reality-Based Personal Protection instructor (listed on this website under CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS), and who wish to verify that they are receiving all required instructions.
