Evidence-Based Scenario Trainer®
A new way to train: safer, more realistic, and built from evidence. Learn to create responsible scenarios using the Ballistic Micro-Fights methodology.
Scenario Training Must Test Competence and Confidence
The final phase of a comprehensive training program must incorporate realistic and responsible scenario work. EBST gives trainers a repeatable methodology for building that phase intelligently.
Build Scenarios from Real Encounters
Methodology, not another collection of techniques.
Evidence-Based
Reverse-engineer real confrontations using CCTV, dashboard video, and body-camera footage. Train from what actually happens, not theory.
Adaptable to Any System
The methodology integrates into martial arts, defensive tactics, and combatives programs without replacing the system you already teach.
Safer & More Realistic
Use intelligent progression and High Gear® impact-reduction equipment to increase realism without simply practicing pulling and missing.
Faster Learning
Develop a deeper understanding of how the mind and body respond to sudden aggression, improving both competence and confidence.

Elevating Realism Responsibly
High Gear® is an essential component of the methodology because it allows participants to train with contact while preserving mobility, vision, communication, and the emotional conditions that make scenario work meaningful.
“If you're not using smart gear in your scenario training or self-defense practice, then you are practicing pulling and missing.”Why High Gear® Works
