Image Based Decisional Drills is a well thought out dry practice or live fire exercise with a deck of 21 Image Cards (with and without additional "tools") that provide IMAGES that will help you to recognize danger and to make smart decisions ahead of time.
Recognition -prime decision (RPD) is a model of how people make quick, effective decisions when faced with complex situations. In this model, the decison maker is assumed to generate a possible course of action, compare it to the constraints imposed by the situation, and select the first course of action that is not rejected. RPD has been described in diverse groups including trauma nurses, fireground commanders, chess players, and stock market traders. It functions well in conditions of time pressure, and in which information is partial and goals poorly defined. The limitations of RPD include the need for extensive experience among decision-makers (in order to correctly recognize the salient features of a problem and model solutions) and the problem of the failure of recognition and modeling in unusual or misidentified circumstances. It appears, as discussed by Gary A. Klein in Sources of Power,[1] to be a valid model for how human decision-makers make decisions. READ IT!
Image Based Decisional Drills will help teach you to you access the situation using a mental simulation for a plausible course of action, allowing you to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the strategies in the content of the scenario.
If you are your first responder, then you are responsible for a wide array of skill sets. Seeing, recognizing, and believing danger is the first task. Having a plan for avoidance, deselection, and escalation are next. The first time you have to use verbal commands, put an object between you and another person, deal with a nuisance, identify a possible threat in the dark, or use non lethal or lethal force should NOT be when your safety is on the line. You MUST practice all of these skills ahead of time.
There are very few home training, self protection training for professionals or students, dry practice or live fire range exercises for the private citizen that focus on making lethal, less than lethal and non lethal decisions quickly. Our Image Based Decisional Drills are intended to fill in the gap in learning how to make decisions using images to provoke a response, decide which TOOL to use, and then ACT on that decision. From the time that a bad guy chooses you, you will have a very limited amount of time to make a decision. THEY choose how and when. Your actions need to be confident, quick and decisive.
Decisions are more important than techniques. Our goal in IBDD is to supply an avenue to learn good decision and provide some simple, yet very effective techniques. Please consider attending additional classes that can help strengthen your non lethal, less than lethal and lethal skills. IBDD focuses on good decisions and will give you an excellent place to practice new skills or sharpen new ones.
In all scenarios the image is happening to YOU, in front of YOU, beside YOU or behind YOU. YOU are your first responder and decisions need to be made quickly.
The number one question I am getting is NOT from the person that buys IBDD to use alone during dry practice at home or live practice on the range BUT from group leaders, club organizers and instructors that want to incorporate IBDD into their programs. They want to know to best "help their client" to reach maximum learning and meet IBDD's Definition of Success: Make a decision. Choose your action. See the results and then think about the pros and cons of the decision. Learn to be confident, decisive, efficient, and explosive.
That is where the Image based Decisional Drills Instructor Certification program comes in! It is easy for you to pick up an IBDD KIT, read the information provided, watch the videos on the website, order Expansion Packs and then think you are ready to teach another person how to "react and make good decisions". Unfortunately, that is usually not the case, obviously your own background plays a HUGE part in teaching others. You must approach this like you would anything else you want to succeed in....recognize that YOU must study the materials first. YOU must be prepared to answer questions, guide and influence your clients yet let them experience all that IBDD has to offer.
Remember, you only get your FIRST experience once. YOU must expect many different decisions and reactions to the image cards...some will be perfect, some, not so much. Some will answer a NONLETHAL problem with a LETHAL solution and vice versa. Some will freeze. Some will never stop asking "well, what if". YOU need to be the one to help them through all of these correct, gray area and incorrect decisions.
As an Image Based Decisional Drills Instructor you will learn how to diagnose what's happening, make the correction, guide your student to good decisions and then PRACTICE DOING THAT!
There is so much more to coaching than meets the eye. Our Image Based Decisional Drill instructors are more like "guides" to help students before, during and AFTER they have worked through their scenario. The lesson's learned from IBDDIC program will not only be beneficial teaching IBDD but it will be beneficial in many other areas in your career and personal life. After this class you will understand the importance of organization, you will better observe opportunities to make effective decisions or to change to a new solution efficiently and you will be much more involved with your surroundings. The same goes for your students, the knowledge they learn from you in you IBDD class is just the beginning of a long journey so please encourage them to purchase an IBDD KIT or NO KIT to continue their practice at home during dry fire or on the range. REPETITION IS A MUST!

According to Haig Kouyoumdjian, PH. D. of Psychology Today, a large body of research indicates that visual cues help us to better retrieve and remember information. The research outcomes on visual learning make complete sense when you consider that our brain is mainly an image processor (much of our sensory cortex is devoted to vision), not a word processor. In fact, the part of the brain used to process words is quite small in comparison to the part that processes visual images.
Words are abstract and rather difficult for the brain to retain, whereas visuals are concrete and, as such, more easily remembered. To illustrate, think about your past school days of having to learn a set of new vocabulary words each week. Now, think back to the first kiss you had or your high school prom date. Most probably, you had to put forth great effort to remember the vocabulary words. In contrast, when you were actually having your first kiss or your prom date, I bet you weren’t trying to commit them to memory. Yet, you can quickly and effortlessly visualize these experiences (now, even years later). You can thank your brain’s amazing visual processor for your ability to easily remember life experiences. Your brain memorized these events for you automatically and without you even realizing what it was doing.
There are countless studies that have confirmed the power of visual imagery in learning. For instance, one study asked students to remember many groups of three words each, such as dog, bike, and street. Students who tried to remember the words by repeating them over and over again did poorly on recall. In comparison, students who made the effort to make visual associations with the three words, such as imagining a dog riding a bike down the street, had significantly better recall.
Various types of visuals can be effective learning tools: photos, illustrations, icons, symbols, sketches, figures, and concept maps, to name only a few. Consider how memorable the visual graphics are in logos, for example. You recognize the brand by seeing the visual graphic, even before reading the name of the brand. This type of visual can be so effective that earlier this year Starbucks simplified their logo by dropping their printed name and keeping only the graphic image of the popularly referred to mermaid (technically, it’s a siren). He thinks we can safely assume that Starbucks Corporation must be keenly aware of how our brains have automatically and effortlessly committed their graphic image to memory.
Based upon research outcomes, the effective use of visuals can decrease learning time, improve comprehension, enhance retrieval, and increase retention. In addition, the many testimonials he has heard from his students and readers weigh heavily in my mind as support for the benefits of learning through visuals.
He says he hears it often and still can’t hear it enough times . . . by retrieving a visual cue presented on the pages of a book or on the slides of a lecture presentation, a learner is able to accurately retrieve the content associated with the visual.
