Introducing 3 SECONDS FROM NOW, Volume 4.
The Most Ambitious, Engaging,
Hands-On Installment Yet.
From Patrick Kilchermann
founder of the Concealed Carry University.
Hello Team. Buckle up and get ready to go dynamic!
I'm thrilled to bring you this fourth Volume, and even more excited for the potential it has to bring fundamental change into your abilities as a protector and provider.
Here's why I view V4 is an Absolutely Essential Component
of Your Armed Defense Training:
The term "Skill" has always been elusive, vague, and even mystical as it relates to armed self-defense. Just utter the phrase "gun-fighting skills" and the mind paints pictures of combatants flying sideways through the air while firing a pistol in each hand.
But while Hollywood fairy-tales like these make as much of a mockery of Real, Life-Saving Self-Defense Skill as those who don't develop themselves at all, when we sat down and evaluated hundreds of use-of-force scenarios where only skill could make the difference, we came up with new parameters for what it means to be "SKILLED IN ARMED SELF-DEFENSE" that surprised even us.
And sharing the sum of all this study with you is the chief aim of this fourth installment in our series.
This Education & Training Here in Volume 4
Cuts Away All the Unrealistic (and ultimately detrimental and discouraging)
Expectations, Glitter, Glamour and Choreography... and gets to the heart of the matter:
- It shows you exactly what you need to be able to do to be truly effective as a responsibly armed combatant.
- It shows that self-defense skill goes far beyond pistol shooting and gun-handling (though it also demonstrates that many of these traditional skills are very important), and provides lists and examples of exactly which non-gun skills we need to focus on developing in order to achieve that 'Jason Bourne' level of survival-awareness and survival-resourcefulness.
- (It explains and lets you off the hook for you what you DON'T actually need to be good at and why).
-
It PROVES that any of us can get there.
-
It shows you exactly HOW to do to develop these skills. It gives you a road map. It literally gives you a video index of each skill we need to be able to do. It shows them isolated, so that you can follow along (and take those instructions to the range), and it shows you what it looks like to combine all the skills together into the perfect, fluid, dynamic mixes of full deployment, so you can practice that, too.
In short:
Volume 4 DEFINES real skill... DEMONSTRATES real skill in action... and then goes far, far beyond by giving you an actual, actionable road map for developing these REAL, Life-Saving Armed-Defense Skills.... in the most efficient, engaging, and self-reliant way possible.
I hope to see you pick up Volume 4 and stay with us at the tip of the spear! As always, your support is dearly appreciated.
Your friend,
-Pat

If you already know you want this program because, like me, you are on board for the 3 SECONDS journey (thank you!), feel free to use the blue button below to place your order.
Otherwise - please keep reading so I can explain how this program is going to make becoming the Guardian you want to be as fast, cost-efficient, and self-reliant a process as possible.
You can bet I've made this the greatest deal possible, factoring in your seniority and loyalty which I value so much. You're getting:
- Disc One: 35 mins. "Understanding Skill." What skill IS and what it's NOT; When and why Skill matters during an engagement & when and why it doesn't matter.
- Disc Two: 3.5 HOURS of gunfight reviews where only skill made the difference. Which skills? They may surprise you. But I can promise it will motivate you to practice these identifiable skills regularly in your daily life.
- Disc Three: 60 minutes. How Skill is Built, What an ITX is, how to set up and run an ITX & why you will want to start training this way (even if the only place you ever get to do them is in your house), and the grand CCU "Essential Skill" isolated video index.
3 SECONDS FROM NOW:
Your #1 Resource For Developing and Advancing Your Survival Abilities & Raw Efficacy as a Responsibly-Armed Guardian.
Inside the 3 SECONDS FROM NOW training series, the viewer is exposed to a series of real-life self-defense gunfights caught on tape, and these attacks are slowed down, paused, explained, and often re-created inside the Sim 'force on force' arena, so that the viewer can clearly see what went wrong (or right) and why.
Most importantly of all, these gunfight videos are curated per volume to highlight and teach on important aspects of combat dynamics, so the viewer can learn the most important lessons related to armed-defense survival and effectiveness in an easy-to-digest, chronological order.
IN SUMMARY: 3 SECONDS FROM NOW has been hailed as "the way self-defense should be taught"; "the best way to learn how to quickly rocket oneself to the upper echelons of intelligence, skill, and ability within the realm of armed defense"; "the most engaging way to learn the tenants and principles of armed self-defense and handgun fighting... from beginning, to mastery."
CCU Founder Pat Kilchermann uses the '3 SECONDS' principles of "Windows", INTENSITY, and 'Precision' to discreetly draw against a drawn gun, and then shoot the attacker 7 times, without being hit once in return.
Here's why we created and developed the the 3 SECONDS FROM NOW handgun defense training series:
- Understanding that the vast majority of self-defense pistol instruction available today misses the boat on staying truly effective against the demands of REALITY, we believe educating on self-defense within the context of real-life defensive use-of-force incidents is important.
- Understanding that even live Sim training simply happens too fast for the student to actually learn within, a new training method was required.
- Understanding that most people who carry concealed will never be able to afford either the time or investment required to travel across the country to a premiere training school, remote-based professional training was needed.
-
And finally, understanding that even the best training is quickly forgotten by the body and mind without regular upkeep, this new reality-based, in-home training method had to deliver engaging, focused, important lessons to the guardian viewer a couple times per year.
Thus, 3 SECONDS FROM NOW was born.
Why "THREE SECONDS FROM NOW?"
Our research has shown that most (but not all) criminal attacks share the following commonalities:
- Most attacks are 'Reactive-Based' Attacks, where the victim is surprised by the attack. (an ambush, where the criminal has waited for the your attention to be distracted before moving against you).
- Most attacks are over in about 3 seconds. By this point, the victim is usually in some kind of state of submission.
And yet, even FBI statistics prove that resistance is almost always the surest way to not only survive a violent encounter, but to survive one without experiencing injury. And as people who have chosen to carry handguns concealed for self-defense, we have the potential to do a lot of good should we find ourselves in one of these situations.
However... because of the way our bodies and minds are programmed, (and as every professional trainer will warn you), during an attack, we will never 'rise to the occasion.' Instead, we will revert to our most basic level of training. Therefore: if we want to offer effective resistance and protect and preserve innocent human life in the face of a violent attacker, we must seek to elevate what is our most basic level of training.
What THREE SECONDS FROM NOW
Will Do For You.
The education you'll receive through this series brings with it these core benefits:
- ACCLIMATION: You will develop a familiarity with violence, violent people, and how violent situations usually play out. You won't be stunned (or as stunned) when it explodes around you.
- COMBAT WISDOM: Your senses and intuition will be educated on how you yourself, criminal adversaries, and bystanders alike react within the sphere of a violent situation.
- TRAINING IN VIOLENCE AWARENESS & COMBAT RESOURCEFULNESS: You will see and learn first-hand how our immediate surroundings thoroughly dictate our responses to an attack, as the vague idea of "using your pistol in self-defense" is made plain and clear through the viewing of dozens upon dozens of real-life gunfights.
- DIRECTION & GUIDANCE: You'll discover your own strengths, uncover weaknesses you weren't aware of, and you'll get a road-map for how to shore up your vulnerabilities and take your armed efficacy to the next level.
-
THE GREATEST LESSONS IN HANDGUN SURVIVAL / COMBAT KNOWN TO MAN: Perhaps the greatest benefit of this series is that the focus of each volume, from #1 onward, highlights as an under-current one major, critically-important lesson of both violence-survival and handgun fighting effectiveness... FOR EXAMPLE:
Volume 1: DECISIONS UNDER FIRE.
Inside Volume 1, we focus on the DECISION to use force. Certainly, like all prudent instructors, we want to make sure that we understand the gravity and implications of what it means to deploy lethal force. And we discuss this at length, showing many scenarios where lethal force WAS NOT necessary, and where an attempt to deploy it caused a victim to become an aggressor, or even to lose his or her own life.
But we also show a multitude of scenarios where lethal force absolutely was exclusively necessary to survival, and where the victim was carrying concealed, but where that victim failed to take action - either quickly enough... or at all.
Why do some hesitate? What goes into making a GOOD decision to use force? These are the questions we explore, visualize, illustrate, and answer in Volume 1: DECISIONS UNDER FIRE.
Volume 2: THE FIGHTING PRINCIPLE OF INTENSITY.
In Volume 2, we focus on the Fighting Principle of Intensity. We teach the reality that most violent attacks can be shut down and stopped much, much faster than the statistical average (and thereby drastically increasing your odds of both uninjured survival and stunning victory) if you deploy and use force in a particular way, which we refer to as "responding in self-defense with intensity."
Professionals often refer to the critical need to "+1" your attacker in order to gain any control over the situation. They are referring to the energy that he is bringing to bear against you. Match this energy or lose; Overcome this energy and win. By the end of Volume 2, you'll have seen this play out either intentionally or accidentally in countless videos. (Usually it's the criminal who attacks 'sheep' and wins immediately based on this principle, but once you're armed with this idea, you will have the education and simple skill-development road map required to +1 your attacker.)
Volume 3: WINNING THE 1-SECOND ADVANTAGE.
In Volume 3, we explore, demonstrate (in the arena and through real force-situations), and discuss the differences between Reactive and Proactive violent attacks, and the 'step 1, fundamental' ways in which our immediate physical responses must change based on how you're attacked.
For Proactive situations, we show you how to leverage the Windows Concept to stay cool, stay alert, and - even when they completely get the jump on you - identify just the right moment to launch and crush your attacker by achieving a 1, 3, or 5 second advantage over him.
And for both, we educate and train you in the art of the dramatically powerful principle of PRE-POSITIONING. We guide you through how to work this into your core auto-pilot actions, and you'll see plenty of examples of how pre-positioning alone can change and save your life.
Volume 4: SKILL in VIOLENT COMBAT. SEIZING THE ADVANTAGE.
...and then we come to this new release.
You see, The Fighting Principle of Intensity explains why the tactic known to the upper-echelon professionals as "+1ing them" works so fiercely well. It's all related to the ENERGY that you release when you begin springing into action...
INTENSITY describes what a combatant looks like when they are burning hot - versus the 'ice cold' ways most instructors teach defensive shooting. Those methods aren't intense, and the person who shoots that way in self-defense often gets stuck in a gunfight that lasts MUCH longer than anyone who isn't wearing body-armor would ever want.
When you see these "proficient" marksmen lose (or die from wounds even when they "win"),
a lack of INTENSITY is usually why.
Most of the time, an INTENSE response is going to end the fight before your mind even fully realizes what your blisteringly-effective hands have done.
This happens for many reasons, some of which involve complicated realities about human biology, but it happens primarily because of the simple nature of who criminals are and what they're after:
A criminal is being a criminal because they have decided that getting something is worth some pre-determined amount of risk. Well... when we expose our attackers to more risk than they are comfortable with... most of the time, the response is immediate disengagement. They turn to flee.
The key to INTENSITY's brilliance is that when you defend yourself this way, you are informing your attacker's biology that they are in a crisis-level immediate danger. This biological awareness causes a biological reaction: panic! It works like a charm, and there are few sights in this world better than a 25 year old bulky "tough guy" - who had moments before been intent on deep aggravated assault - scrambling on all fours through the middle of an intersection as they flee the sight of a drawn gun in the hands of an elderly person...
...and as a practitioner of armed defense, there's no better result than having your maliciously-violent attacker diving through a window by the time the third shot leaves the barrel of your gun.
So: you want to learn to defend yourself with an INTENSE, "+1" energy. But here's the thing:
INTENSITY has a shelf-life.
That's right... within the scope of a 3 - 8 second life or death self-defense engagement, INTENSITY has a shelf-life.
Because if your INTENSE response hasn't caused your attacker to disengage by a certain point - right around the time you get to some kind of cover, usually - YOUR TACTIC IS GOING TO NEED TO CHANGE. You tried to +1 them and you didn't. They withstood your energy. Or maybe they plan on dying and just don't care. (ie, Active Shooters).
So, again: your Tactic Needs to Change. To what?
THIS is what we will be focusing on in Volume 4: SKILL in Violent Combat... SEIZING THE ADVANTAGE.
(Now really, that's just the half of it! Because as you'll see, the ability to be intense itself is just as much a skill that needs to be intentionally practiced as all the other aspects of Skill we'll be discussing. We'll show you all that.)
The bottom line is... there is an exact moment when you are defending yourself where you must make the transition.... from an INTENSE response.... to a PRECISE response.
To do that... to focus your energy into a PRECISE response... and to thereby successfully defend yourself... you've got to be good at certain things. You've got to know how to get good at them yourself, on your bits and pieces of free time. (Because who has the time, otherwise?). And you've got to KNOW you're good enough, and good enough at all the right things.
All so that when that day comes, you're ready. (And so that every day between then and now, you feel *excellent* in your confidence.) This is the purpose of Volume 4.
