Immunization / Resiliency
Before and During Deployment: These techniques are mental hygiene tools
that produce ongoing protection by increasing focus, clarity, and
mental resilience, especially during long deployments. Warriors are
trained to find the calm center in the “eye of the hurricane” and to
eliminate the “fog of war” by emphasizing power, balance, and
clarity. In the immunization stage, Warrior Mind Training techniques are
designed for the Service Member who is interested in discovering how to
strengthen and develop his mind to reach his full potential as a warrior.
If practiced regularly and diligently, these techniques will allow the
warrior to gain a superior level of control over his own mind and life.
This training will allow him to recharge himself when he is exhausted on
the battlefield; to make more intelligent use of his body’s own
natural talents and energies; and to strengthen his focus, willpower
and intent to exceed the demands of his mission. We teach the warrior
how to focus to the point at which he can clear his mind of all
distractions and shut off all mental chatter at will. When that happens,
a power and clarity will infuse his attention, which he can then direct
towards attaining almost anything. Our motto is: What you focus on,
you will become.

Decompression
Returning from Deployment: Decompression techniques, designed by Veterans
for Veterans, enable an effective reintegration back into family and
civilian life upon returning CONUS. Warrior Mind Training techniques
ease the stresses of a changing daily reality and act as safety stops
during that critical re-entry period. The mission: Take the war to the
enemy, but leave the battle on the battlefield™. By combining ancient
mind focusing techniques with the healing properties of music, warriors can
learn to re-strengthen and re-forge their minds.

PTSD, TBI and Combat Operational Stress Training
Due to the alarming increase in the number of cases of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and suicide or attempted suicide in our returning Veterans population, we have developed specialized WMT classes for combat-related decompression. In these classes, techniques are taught that allow warriors to reintegrate with self, family and society; to leave the battle on the battlefield; and to earn the peace for which they have so honorably paid the price.
We are currently providing this training to the Warrior
Transition Battalion of Womack Army Medical Center at Fort
Bragg, North Carolina, and at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune at
MCB Camp Lejeune. Warrior Mind Training is an intervention
technique in NHCL's "Back on Track" program for returning
warriors diagnosed with PTSD and Combat Operational Stress;
in the mTBI/Concussion Skills Workshop; and in the
Outpatient Crisis Prevention Program.

Elite Warrior Training
Using Warrior Mind Training techniques, elite warriors in the US military can learn how to strengthen and forge their minds into the ultimate fighting weapon. In addition to the weekly Resiliency classes at NAB Coronado/North Island, CA, WMT training also includes a "Hell Week Prep" class for Navy SEALs BUD/S classes just prior to entering the intensive Hell Week phase of their qualification. In this class, Navy SEALs candidates are instructed in WMT techniques and are taught the secret to surviving Hell Week.
During the 2008 Marine Special Operations School (MSOS) Instructor Development Course, Warrior Mind Training was introduced into the core curriculum for MARSOC Special Operations candidate training at MCB Camp Lejeune, NC. This customized course emphasized the tradition of mind training in elite warrior cultures throughout history, as well as intermediate mind training techniques designed for elite warrior development.
Weekly Resiliency and Battleproofing classes are also
provided to Fort Bragg's fighting elite, including members
of the Special Forces, Psychological Operations, and Soldiers
undergoing the rigors of the Special Forces Qualification
Course (Q-Course).

WMT Web Classes
Warrior Mind Training launched weekly, live web-based classes
in spring 2009. This 4-week series of online WMT "Basic
Training" classes covers the WMT Deep Listening technique
and the WMT Battleproofing Toolkit™. It is designed
for service members in remote locations, such as National
Guard and Reserve warriors or deployed service members
overseas, who cannot attend on-site classes in person. We
run the 4-week series each month.

Stress & Anger Management Training
Warrior Mind Training provides Stress & Anger Management training at
Naval Submarine Base New London/Groton in conjunction with The Fleet & Family Support
Center’s Stress, Anger and Communications Skills classes. In these
classes, techniques are taught that create a “mental pause”
during which a person can choose to make better decisions about whether
or not to engage in a negative or violent action, thereby breaking the
cycle of habitual reaction-response to form new and healthier patterns,
free from anger.

Train-the-Trainer Certification Course
For those that meet the prerequisite qualifications, we
provide a Train-the-Trainer program in order to fulfill the
high demand for class availability. Currently there are over
30 certified WMT Basic Trainers, Level I at MCB Camp
Pendleton, CA. We offer an escalation procedure such that if
a new trainer should not know the answer to a particular
question, he or she can contact our core team of senior
instructors. Monthly and/or quarterly refresher classes can
be provided to keep new trainers up-to-speed with the latest
course developments and provide ongoing instructor training.

OCONUS – Iraq, Afghanistan & Pacific Theater Deployments
We continue to work with our US Armed Forces during their
overseas deployments. We are committed to providing this
valuable training to our men and women in uniform when they
need it the most. Real-time instruction can be continued
overseas via our scheduled web classes and, for one-on-one
training, via video/telephone conferencing, instant
messaging, and other forms of communication. Upon request,
our senior instructors can travel to provide face-to-face
instruction as needed.

Veterans
We provide Warrior Mind Training to Veterans of all ages and all disability
levels at the Vet Center San Diego, at Veterans Association of San Diego State
University, and at the Veterans Village of San Diego, California.
(For more information, visit Veterans Village of San Diego online at
www.vvsd.net.)
We also work with various Veterans Affairs Medical Centers and Veterans

our Veterans community.

Spouses & Adult Family Members
Upon request, we work with Morale, Welfare and Recreation
(MWR), Family Readiness Groups (FRG), and the Army and Marine
Corps Community Services (ACCS, MCCS) to participate in
special events and training opportunities designed
specifically for military spouses and adult-aged family
members and friends. Since many of the states of mind
associated with PTSD and Combat Operational Stress can be
"contagious," we will provide mind training instruction to
this special community that supports our troops from inside
the family home.
