Welcome Violent Paradigms. Violent Paradigms modern weapons training is dedicated to helping you understand, detect, avoid and escape the violent paradigms of determined criminal attackers. This is accomplished by learning to cultivate your very own defensive weapon based violent paradigm to force onto those who would seek to do you or your family harm. Combining over 25 years of experience in military, martial arts, personal security, and bail enforcement, your instructor, Douglas White, shatters the myths propagated by the television and film industries. He accomplishes this by offering you an unvarnished, unapologetic perspective on the role that firearms, edged weapons, irritant aerosols, electronic control devices and impact weapons play in modern society. He accomplishes this while never losing sight of the medical, psychological and legal implications that follow the defensive use of force. This site will serve as a conduit for related information in the form of videos, photos, articles, ideas, and upcoming training events. Both private and seminar based instruction is available to those of all walks of life.
