Modern Warrior has been in business for over 29 years. We've been teaching officers techniques and strategies that SAVE LIVES! There are children in existence that otherwise would not be had one or both of their parents not trained with us here. We back up our techniques 100%. They work on the street and they help keep officers safe and able to go home to their families each night.
Call for a tour of our unique facility if you're in the Long Island area.
And if you're out of state and want to bring our training to your area give us a call. Our lead instructor, retired NYPD Sgt. Mr. Phil Messina, learned quickly on the streets of New York that much of his extensive martial arts training went right out the window under real world environments. He has spent many years striving to teach officers under realistic circumstances, to fight with items in their hands (radio, firearm, pen, memo book, OC spray, etc.) and to confront multiple assailants, possibly with multiple weapons.
Phil and his professional staff are available to teach a variety of courses at YOUR facility including, but not limited to Tactical Straight Baton, Confrontational Handcuffing, Tactical Ground Fighting and more! Contact Danette Adamovich for details and scheduling information at 1-888-M-WARRIOR or 631-226-8383.

Our training methods are progressive and unique. We'll help you keep your mindset sharp and ready for anything the bad guys can throw at you.

Confrontational Handcuffing
This is NOT academy cuffing!
Participants will learn to handcuff an armed suspect, effective wall, kneeling and prone cuffing, handcuffing while moving the suspect through a crowd and controlling the suspect who is cuffed with one hand and throws a punch. You’ll get to know commands for those who are hard of hearing or may not speak English. Open to Law Enforcement and pre-screened civilians only.
Instinctive Firearm Retention and Gun Disarming:
Unlike any other course offered anywhere. With minimal practice, participants learn to retain their weapon blindfolded! In this way, it becomes an instinctive reaction to protect and retain the firearm, whether holstered or from the hand.
This class will include (time permitting) disarming opponents with handguns, from the front, rear, sides and from different distances, as well as long guns, plus how to deal with the most difficult hostage situations. This very practical course is great for lighter and smaller officers because the training is based on leverage, not strength.
Officers should bring gun belt and holster. Practice (plastic) firearm optional, but recommended.
Tactical Edged Weapons Defense
A two day intensive course with basic or instructor certification at the end.
Participants will learn:
1) The safest ways to defend against overhead, thrusting, arcing and spinning edged weapons attacks
2) Best counterattacks to stop the assailant
3) Defense against multiple opponents with edged weapons
4) Defense against an opponent with multiple knives
5) Defense against long bladed weapons such as swords and machetes
6) Defense against edged weapons from the ground
7) Defense when your hands are already occupied, such as with a firearm and radio, flashlight or handcuffs, etc.
This system is extremely effective and can also be used against empty-handed attacks.
Soft body armor and duty belt are optional.
Knife Defense
Participants will learn simple concepts that work empty handed or against all types of edged weapons, regardless of angle of attack. Practical and realistic, easy to learn and easy to remember and employ under stress.
$60 with advance registration
Tactical Straight Baton
A two day course with basic or instructor certification upon completion.
A system that is adaptable for any straight baton, including expandables. This very practical system enables officers to discover the versatility of the straight baton. It includes baton use in low, medium and high level of force situations, covering Physio-kinetics, Time-framing, multiple assailants, edged weapon defense and groundfighting.
Soft body armor and duty belt are optional.
Five Day Defensive Tactics Instructor Certification Course
Course includes basic or instructor certification upon completion.
Typically held Monday through Friday, with 8 - 9 hour training days.
There is no other course offered anywhere that offers this type of instructor training! Specific techniques are chosen for their ability to demonstrate particular concepts that are vital for the defensive tactics instructor to be completely familiar with in order to be the most effective trainer possible.
These concepts include, but are not limited to: Physio-kinetics, Time-framing, Multiple Assailant Confrontation, Edged Weapons Defense, Instinctive Firearm Retention and Gun Disarming, F.A.S.T. (Firearm Alternative Survival Tactics), Tactical Groundfighting and Confrontational Handcuffing.
Liability protection is discussed throughout different points in the course, with the main emphasis on developing and sharpening the instructor’s various teaching and defensive tactics skills, including the area of adjusting to individual student skill levels and answering “What if…” questions.
Firearm Alternative Survival Tactics (F.A.S.T.)
A two day course with basic or instructor certification upon completion.
This course works to bridge the gap between empty-handed defensive tactics and use of the firearm. F.A.S.T. techniques are utilized in situations where the officer is confronting multiple opponents and one or more of the assailants has or is likely to have a weapon.
F.A.S.T. doesn't mean alternative to your firearm. It means alternatives with your firearm.
Course includes safe positioning tactics, which give the officer more time to assess the situation and from there, the officer may then shoot or not shoot as appropriate.
This course has already saved the lives of officers!
Topics covered include:
1. Transition to firearm vs. disengage to firearm
2. Avoiding involuntary discharges
3. Physio-kinetic control tactics
4. Grappling with firearm
5. Blocking with firearm
6. Groundfighting with firearm
7. FAST with edged weapons defense
8. FAST with firearm retention
Soft body armor and duty belt are optional.
Tactical Jaw and Limb Control
The concepts of Tactical Jaw & Limb Control teach officers what to do when something isn’t working or when they need a physical edge. No strikes are taught in this course – it’s meant to enhance the skills in your toolbox and make them work better!
A conceptual class, participants will quickly become familiar with the principles of Physio-Kinetics: the science of influencing a person’s balance, power and mobility through an understanding of how the skeletal body functions.
Use of the Tactical Jaw & Limb Control system is practical in all levels of force. Participants learn how to ADAPT so that no matter how an assailant acts, or reacts, they will have options. It is truly the “mortar between the bricks.”
