Concepts was initially conceived as a delivery system for innovative training programs (F.O.R.C.E. being the acronym for &#8220;Force Options for Resolving Combative Encounters&#8221;).\u00a0 Chief among these was PROTOCOM, or Progressive Total Combat, a system of interlocking tactics expressed through pistol, edged-weapon, and empty-hand fighting skills.<\/p>\n<p>Over time the PFC curriculum expanded, the instructor team grew and PFC courses spread across the US and beyond.\u00a0 Since the beginning, PFC Training has now reached 10,000 students through over 1,000 courses delivered to hundreds upon hundreds of military, law enforcement, security and private sector groups.\u00a0 And over the years the business itself has grown into separate divisions encompassing protective operations, special projects, consulting and our CrossFit affiliate, Progressive FORCE CrossFit.<\/p>\n<p>Much has happened since the early days at the Blackhawk Shooting Range in San Antonio, TX.\u00a0 But PFC&#8217;s commitment to excellence, both in the quality of our services and our contribution to modern training doctrine remains our uppermost priority.\u00a0 And to recognize our 15 year milestone and say &#8220;thank you&#8221; to those of you receiving and reading our monthly newsletters, we are offering a special anniversary promotion for all 2012 handgun &amp; carbine courses.\u00a0 Use discount code <strong>PFC15415<\/strong>to enroll in any 2012 Progressive Handgun or Progressive Carbine training course before January 1, 2012, and you will receive 15% off the course tuition.\u00a0 You may enroll online or contact our office at Info@PFCtraining.com or 702-647-1126.\u00a0 Be sure to have the discount code
