DRST Instructor Certification — KET certifies instructors in their Dynamic Response Survival Training program, allowing professionals to teach these tactics within their own organizations.
Every KET program follows a three-level progression:
1. Static — Step-by-step, by-the-numbers instruction to build neural pathways and conditioned responses 2. Fluid — Combining techniques with stimulus response in flowing motion ("slow is smooth, smooth becomes fast") 3. Dynamic — Real-world speed with no fixed rules, unknown attacks, and zero conscious thought—pure trained reaction
Research-based instruction emphasizing gross motor skills that perform reliably under combat stress. The KET philosophy: "In a time of great crisis, you will never rise to the level of your expectations. You will always fall to the level of your training."
