My fellow American Sheepdog & Guardian:
MY ONE & ONLY GOAL IS TO HELP YOU TO
GET READY. BE READY. FEEL READY.
FOR THIS MOMENT:
I ACHIEVE THIS GOAL
WITH THREE TRAINING CORE CONCEPTS:
Guardian:
This Is Your Call to Action.
The education & training packed into this 3.5 hour program has the power to change your life.
After good decisions under fire, the level of your DEFENSIVE INTENSITY is the #1 factor that will determine whether you SURVIVE and WIN.... or not.
I'm going to give you INTENSITY.
WHAT ON EARTH IS "INTENSITY"
...AND WHY DOES IT RANK EVEN
AHEAD OF YOUR HANDGUN ABILITIES?
Sheepdog: Watch this 4-minute video and I'll explain.
INTRODUCING 3 SECONDS FROM NOW
VOLUME 2: THE FIGHTING PRINCIPLE OF INTENSITY
"Our Most Ambitious, Monumental Training & Development Experience Yet. You're gunna love this."
From Patrick Kilchermann
founder of the Concealed Carry University.
Hello again, my fellow Guardian and Sheepdog!
I have missed you: it's been a while since our last release, 3 SECONDS FROM NOW Volume 1: DECISIONS UNDER FIRE.
But I have great news for you that I am *pumped* about. As you just heard in the video above, the SECOND volume of this industry-shattering series is now ready for you. Guardian, after many months of very hard work I give you:
3 SECONDS FROM NOW Volume 2: The Fighting Principle of INTENSITY.
Inside this volume you are absolutely going to find wall-to-wall:
- The threat ACCLIMATION that you've come to rely on in our training together.
- The COMBAT WISDOM that we extract from each threatening scenario together in the CCU studio.
-
More of the ENERGY, the MOTIVATION, and the ENCOURAGEMENT that fuels your Guardian Life.
- The SURVIVAL LESSONS slowed down and collected and truly gained that few Guardians ever have a chance to learn, given that even being threatened in a violent scenario happens way too fast to learn within.
But this time, there's a very, very big (and exciting difference):
If you remember, back in 3 SECONDS FROM NOW Volume 1: DECISIONS UNDER FIRE, we looked at scenarios where the DECISION to use force was the make-or-break determining factor in whether or not that good guy survived.
Do you remember why we looked at those scenarios specifically?
We did so for one critical reason: because in our investigation into hundreds of use-of-force incidents, we found that the #1 point of failure for armed Americans who fall in attempted self-defense related to their DECISION to use force. WHETHER to use force. WHEN to use force. HOW to deploy that force (ie, slowly and discreetly, or rapidly).
That's right. The decision beat out Handgun Skill. It beat out Age. It beat out Fitness level. It beat out Caliber. It beat out Ammo Capacity.
Well: do you know what the SECOND most critical factor was...?
Nope, still not accuracy ability or strength or caliber.
The Second Greatest Determining Factor in whether or not a GOOD GUY survives a violent encounter is the INTENSITY with which they defend themselves!
I'm talking about the energy: the violent aggression that you can bring to bear. Believe it or not, but this INTENSITY, or energy, plays into and fuels every aspect of your defensive effort in those critical, crucial few seconds.
"UNLESS YOU ARE A NATURAL BORN FIGHTER....You've got to practice INTENSITY. It has to be DEVELOPED. It has to be cultivated from within."
Here's the thing, Guardian.
INTENSITY doesn't come natural. In our lives from birth we are conditioned to behave and abide by social norms.
I believe ALL Guardians are capable of 'flicking that switch', but the fact is....
"It takes the average person an entire biological process spanning *minutes* to summon and develop the burning hot intensity required to DOMINATE and WIN."
YOU WON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF TIME.
This is why we must study INTENSITY. This is why we must learn the strategies and tactics for developing this life-saving ability within ourselves, so that we can EXPLODE in the faces of our attackers in the blink of an eye.
Every defensive expert at the top of the field preaches the need to "+1" our attackers if we want to succeed in self-defense. This is exactly what we're talking about here.
The only difference is, until now this ability has never been taught. Until now, the floating assumption is: you either HAVE IT... or you don't.
But that's insane and I find it unacceptable. FIGHTERS are not born. They are made. They are the ones who answer the call.
Well: This is YOUR calling. Join me in answering it and we will do this together!
LOOK BELOW and see how to get your copy of this new DVD, especially right now at this 'introductory' rate.
I believe this program will prove to be worth its weight in gold to you... and yet, right now you can get it at the cheapest price it'll ever be offered.
Good luck! And I will see you on the inside.

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 did we call this series "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.
CORE BENEFITS
of 3 SECONDS FROM NOW:
- 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.
- 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 THE INDUSTRY AND ART: 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 EXAMPLES:
Series Prelude: THE 14 LAWS OF SELF-DEFENSE.
The 14 Laws of Self-Defense are a condensed version of the education that has spanned the most fundamental components of the education and training that we've produced here at Concealed Carry University: namely, throughout the 175 episodes of our Guardian Broadcast and through the 20 hours of our Complete Concealed Carry Guide.
This 35 minute animated short brings to motion and to life the 14 most important elements of armed defense. While we hope that none of these 14 laws are new to you, we know that it's probably been quite some time since you've been through our training material.
Everyone benefits from a refresher! And we believe it makes perfect sense to hit these 14 Laws anew before diving headfirst into the action and intensity that is 3 SECONDS FROM NOW: VOLUME 1, DECISIONS UNDER FIRE.
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.
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.)
STEP 3: GET A MORE IN-DEPTH PREVIEW INTO THIS SECOND VOLUME OF 3 SECONDS FROM NOW: The Fighting Principle of INTENSITY.
Most people who carry concealed focus on two areas in their development as Guardians:
- Handgun selection.
-
Target marksmanship.
The problem is, when we actually sit down and analyze hundreds upon hundreds of real-world, use of force scenarios... we find that handgun choice and marksmanship account for very few of the success/failure hinge-points for the 'good guys.' (Especially considering that Target marksmanship skill development has VERY LITTLE to do with Combat marksmanship ability!)
- DECISIONS on whether and when to use force; to what extent to use force; and the manner in which force is deployed.
- The INTENSITY, or energy, with which force is deployed, used, and maintained within the scope of a 3-second altercation.
- The TIMING of that deployment and use of force.
-
And on and on.
The evidence for this 'failure of priorities' is dreadfully evident when real-world scenarios are analyzed.
- We see people who carry the best handguns defeated by criminals who are dramatically less well-armed.
-
We see people who possessed excellent accuracy abilities (in particular, trained & qualified police officers) who utterly fail to effectively shut down an attack.
And here's the thing.... the results of our investigation couldn't me more clear:
When you see these "proficient" marksmen or these well-armed good-guys LOSE...
(or die from wounds even when they "win"), a lack of INTENSITY is usually why.
INTENSITY, ONCE UNDERSTOOD AND DEVELOPED, IS A POWERFUL ALLY.
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!
Other than making excellent use-of-force decisions, bringing INTENSITY into your defense to 'PLUS ONE' your attacker is the greatest thing you can do toward your self-preservation.
The bottom line is: Without successfully leveraging the subconscious, deeply-biological, life-saving power of the Fighting Principle of INTENSITY, you're counting on one of these outcomes:
- Your attacker consciously deciding that you pose more of a threat to him than he is willing to handle. (This can take 3-5 seconds, or even longer if your attacker is in an altered state). OR:
- You actually physically shutting off your attacker by destroying his physical ability to keep attacking you. (This can take up to 90 seconds, even with many center-of-mass hits; even with a heart shot.)
Both of these outcomes leave your attacker with PLENTY of time to kill you... intentionally or accidentally.
Therefore: As prudently-armed Guardians we must come to understand, cultivate, and harness this ability for INTENSITY within ourselves.
STEP 4: MAKE THE DECISION AS A RESPONSIBLY-ARMED GUARDIAN TO GET THIS EXPERIENCE (AND THESE CONFIDENCE-AMPLIFYING BENEFITS) FOR YOURSELF.
