About Survive the Fight
The founder of Survive the Fight, Anthony Hawkins, has over 20 years in Security and Law Enforcement. Having served in several units including Active Shooter Response Team, Crisis Intervention Team, Crime Suppression Unit, SWAT, Homeland Security Strike Team, Training Administrator, and Department Sergeant serving in several units as supervisor including patrol, crime analysis, and Internal Affairs. This has developed a broad base of law, use of force, and application of tactics versus the long-term analysisin court and how the two are measured.
During his time serving the public as a Law Enforcement officer, Anthony branched out and started a security guard company with the desire to be the premier company in the area, leading with technology to provide exceptional service to those he served. Growing from 7 guards to over 50 in just 7 years, he realized that training is what sets guards apart from the rest.
Anthony then began the process of taking his knowledge, education, and training and making it applicable to the general public for real-world civilian situations. He sought out training and through dedication and his passion for teaching became a certified instructor with the NRA and USCCA in several disciplines to be able to better equip the security guards and the public.
Once Anthony realized there was more to real-life situations one may face, he then took his self-defense skill and with others created a program to help keep one safe whether on a walk home from class on campus, leaving a bar, or a woman at the store with her kids.
Further, seeing how the world has changed the potential for an active shooting situation happening is an ever-increasing possibility. The chance of becoming a part of one of these violent outbursts is becoming a part of everyday life and whether taking the kids to school, leaving a doctor’s office, or a place of worship, it seems we must always be alert and ready to respond to save those we care for. Anthony accepts this new evolving part of society and has developed a training plan to respond to an Active Shooter Situation. He has developed plans for civilians and security to respond to these situations as each would be different and the current systems lack in areas.
Anthony has launched Survive the Fight to teach and train those that want to gain comfort in carrying and utilizing a firearm. Also, he and his team teach the most basic level to the experienced. They start with basics for those that are first-time firearm owners and can teach or train them to be proficient and just as ready for a violent encounter as a high-speed tactical team member.
For those that need special training, we can accommodate one-on-one firearms training, set up church security teams, procedures and protocols, executive team movement, or bring your security detail up to speed with firearms training. They are also available to train your team or employees on how to respond to an Active Shooter Situation and tactical medical response.
