Intuitive Defense is a veteran and law enforcement owned and operated business based in Louisiana. Intuitive Defense started in 2015, but our roots go much deeper than just that date. With almost 20 years of experience operating in a wide range of environments, both stateside and overseas, we have acquired "real world" applications, skills, and tactics that we want to share with you.
Our vision to create a program focused and built for civilians started while working in law enforcement. For more than 10 years we served the public all across the state of Louisiana. During this time, we saw a need and desire from the people living within these communities to have the ability and knowledge to better protect themselves. From there, Intuitive Defense was born.
The goal of Intuitive Defense is to provide quality training to civilians at an affordable cost. We accomplish this by using our own knowledge, real world experience, and training to develop lesson plans that give you a higher chance of surviving a potentially dangerous situation. We know the needs and demands of our customers change based on current events and trends, which is why Intuitive Defense is committed to furthering our own education and receiving the most up-to-date training, which in turn, we pass on to you.
Society is continually changing and so too must the people. We want to give our customers the highest chance of surviving a violent encounter with a criminal. We want our customers to identify a possible threat and make the proper decisions needed for their survival before a criminal labels them a target or before an encounter can escalate into a dangerous situation. In a life or death situation, seconds and inches matter. Since bad things happen within a blink of an eye, we want our customers to be prepared and give them and their families the extra seconds and inches they need to survive.
Although “Hollywood tactics and gear” look good in the movies, it isn’t what keeps people alive in the real world. We aren't interested in showing you the “cool guy stuff” you want to learn, our goal is to show you the “real world” stuff you didn’t know you needed to learn.
In high stress situations, the human body undergoes several mental and physical changes that can either improve or hinder the chance of survival. Unfortunately, most of this type of information is often over looked in training because it’s considered “small”. The reality is, usually it’s the “small” things that get people hurt or killed.
Our commitment to protecting people and passing on knowledge is our foundation. Our customers and their families come first. If we can help save one life, we have succeeded. Thinking outside the box is what has helped keep us alive and it is what will help keep our customers alive!
Respectfully, Richard Baker CEO, Intuitive Defense, LLC
