ESP REMOTE TRAINING AND INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION

By using a combination of ESP products, video-evaluation correspondence, e-mail, and phone consultation we are now able to advance your training in a systematic manner even in cases where one-on-one interaction is, well, a remote possibility.

The optimum method for obtaining peak results in your ESP training is via private sessions with a Certified ESP Coach but this Remote Program provides an efficient and effective substitute.

I will first set forth the program and its principles and then delineate the instructor-ship designations. (One does not have to pursue instructorship to participate in the remote training program. You can train for your own benefit, for the potential to instruct and/or to supplement income.)

THE METHOD

First you come aboard at the Membership Option of your choice (Annual or Lifetime).

Next we phone and/or email consult to fine-tune what your particular goals are.

Based on this consultation we then choose from any available ESP products of interest to pursue the particular aspect(s) of Western Martial Arts that you most want to master (Pugilism, Shooting, Par Terre, All-In, Blade-Work, the Jungle Gymnasium or, any combination you desire).

You then study the provided material. When you feel that the unit has been mastered you will then videotape yourself instructing the material in great detail as if  I have never seen it before and then, perform the material up to speed. (Inclusion of sparring footage is always a plus but not required.)

Next, you ship the videotaped material to me along with the $30 Coaching Conference fee, where I will review the material and make coaching notes. We then schedule a phone consultation session to walk through points of progress and/or points of improvement. Upon the successful mastery of a unit’s material we move to the next unit where the process will be repeated.

“The ESP instructors did a very thorough job explaining the information. The self-defense was solid and extremely realistic. I do not want to encounter weapons in a violent, real-life situation, but in today’s world, it could happen at any moment. I feel much better knowing I have had this training.”

 COACHING (INSTRUCTOR/TRAINER) LEVELS

APPRENTICE COACH-All students who enter the program are designated Apprentice Coaches (Coaches in Training). At this level you are not sanctioned to teach.

ASSOCIATE COACH-An Associate Coach is an individual who has mastered a large portion of the ESP material and is sanctioned to teach that material at the club/school/seminar level. This is an income generating designation.

ASSISTANT COACH-This designation implies that an individual has both mastered ESP product material and has made efforts to supplement their training with one-on-one training sessions. Assistant Coaches, in addition to the physical material, are given access to ESP material on the subject of student motivation, self-marketing, and other research tools pertinent to the field of study.

HEAD COACH-This designation shows that the student has moved through the preceding levels and has made every effort to pursue the Western methodology in a diligent manner and has demonstrated excellent mastery of the physical material and has also demonstrated admirable teaching skills in the promotion and training of the material to other students.

“Training with Mark Hatmaker in Edged Weapons courses brought to light what a lot of instructors do not know when confronted with a knife. Most instructors believe that the attacker is going to come at you with one thrust and that you are going to deliver a single strike and render the attacker helpless. That type of thinking will get some killed. Instructors need to wake up and invest some time in training with Mark Hatmaker and the ESP staff.”

--Samuel Day, Training Officer-Corrections

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does it take to move through levels? The answer is, “It depends on the individual.” Apprentice Coach designations are available from Day 1 and Associate Coach level can be attained in as little time as 1 year. Head Coach level, in a diligent individual, is possible in 4 to 5 years (that’s presuming a lot of effort has been put forth.) The best speed at which to attain the different levels is that which is best for you. Do not attempt to compete with others. Only strive to better yourself. You are your own best opponent.

Are there tests? Each material review is treated as a test. And each Coaching designation will call for harsher standards.  The attainment of the next level of Coach is up to the reviewer. The mere completion of 1 or 2 product units does not mean you move to the next level. It is a combination of units that leads the way.

Are there syllabi for each level? Each RAW is accompanied by a syllabus and each level above Apprentice has a Master Syllabus as an overview to what is to be mastered during that time. (You may, of course, use other ESP products in addition to or instead of RAWS). These syllabi are meant to be included in your training notebook so that you may have easy access to all previously learned material and material yet to be conquered.

When may I teach ESP material? Once you attain Associate Coach Level you are sanctioned to teach the material that you have mastered. All that is asked is for you to promote the source of the material (ESP): also, it is appreciated if an effort is made to host seminars.

Are there belts for each level? No belts. Western Combat arts have no tradition of belts, more a tradition and respect for knowledge and effort. Your designation comes in the form of a certificate and a listing on our website and in future ESP products so that interested parties can contact the best training source nearest them.

“This was the best training I have ever received. It’s simple, hands-on training that really works. It is stuff that you can use on the street without having to refer to a manual during the confrontation. I would highly recommend this course to anybody.”

--John Nicholson, Police Officer

“Money well spent. I’ll be back for the next ESP seminar. This training makes up for the lack of continued training that police departments don’t provide. It was straightforward and to the point.”

--Ben Duran, Police Officer

ESP TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

The following information will provide breakdowns of price and content of the varieties of one-on-one training opportunities available through ESP.

The choice of material covered in all of the options is at the discretion of the student so that we may best serve your particular needs. We will provide syllabi of covered material, where available, for inclusion in your ESP Training Notebook. Each session may also be an opportunity for instructor certification. We also provide a free follow-up Phone Consultation in the coming weeks to tighten covered material, and in the case of our visiting guests we attempt to locate economical and comfortable lodging if desired.

We currently have three options: Private, Boot Camp, and Seminar.

PRIVATE LESSONS-Private lessons are a one-on-one training opportunity in which you spend one hour covering any subject(s) of your choice.

The cost is $75 per hour.

If you wish to train beyond 4 hours I would suggest you look at our INTENSIVE package to maximize your cost to benefit ratio.

You are able to further defray your cost by having a partner join you in your Private session. The base price remains the same but there is a $10 dollar add-on per hour for each additional individual. Example: 2 individuals training for 1 hour would cost $85 for that hour.

ESP BOOT CAMPS-Boot Camps are 2 and/or 3 day Intensives hosted at the home base (you come here) designed for the hardest of the hardcore. Boot Camps are 4-6 hour days (length is up to what the mind and body will bear).

2 Day ESP Boot Camp-$500

3 Day ESP Boot Camp-$600

Boot Camp Pricing reflects a single participant; there is a $50 addition for each add-on training partner.

Example: 2-Day Boot Camp for two individuals would be $550 total, for three $600.

(Boot Camps are also certification opportunities.)

SEMINARS-ESP Seminars can be arranged in one, two, or three day blocks. Seminars are essentially Boot Camps at a hosted location. The prices are as follows:

1 Day Seminar-$1000

2 Days-$1250

3 Days-$1500

The seminar host provides round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations in advance (The airfare condition is waived for seminars within reasonable driving distance with the proviso of additional $100 for travel expenses). ESP provides template promotional materials to assist in the marketing and advertising of your seminar. The seminar’s content and pricing is up to the host. Example: Charging each participant $60 for a one-day seminar nets (assuming an attendance of 40 individuals) $2400 which brings the vast majority of seminars to profit for the host above the seminar fee, travel, and board. Individual pricing and profit incentive is up to the host.

($500 is to be pre-paid 14 days prior to the scheduled event.)

If you desire further information and/or would like to book any of the above options just call us at (865)679-1223.

“The ESP seminar was fantastic! The instructors had a great deal of knowledge of the subjects that they covered. I found it to be quite valuable and to be a great asset in my job at Have a Nice Day Café.”

--Brady Murphy, Bouncer

“This was an exceptionally well taught and practical self-defense class. As a working policeman/patrol officer, I feel that I would be able to use the techniques taught tonight once I leave the class, as opposed to some other schools where you would have to practice many years and the techniques still might not work. These techniques will work.”

--William T. Jeffers, Policeman
