Proprietary Doctrine
ABA Intl does not operate as a collection of disconnected drills. Technical decisions are organized inside a coherent doctrine designed for real performance problems.
ABA Intl Course Portfolio
Train for the problem.
Measure the performance.
Evidence-led combat training built around proprietary doctrine, measurable performance and a deliberate teaching system.
The ABA Standard
Doctrine and method are not courses. They shape every course.
ABA Intl develops its own doctrine and teaches through TMM — Technique, Metric and Method. The course changes. The institutional standard does not.
TMM — Technique, Metric & Method
Technique provides the solution. Metric defines what success means. Method determines how the student develops from the measured starting point.
Training Architecture
Four lines. One coherent system.
The portfolio is organized by the capability being developed, not by a random list of techniques.
Core
Pistol and rifle foundations that establish the ABA Intl operating baseline.
Applied Combat
Mobility, geometry and multi-platform management beyond the static firing line.
Environment & Context
Vehicle, concealment, low-light and close-range problems that change the task.
Cognitive Operator
A three-level progression for pistol or rifle under increasing cognitive demand.

Vehicle • Context2 DAYS IN PERSON + 15 DAYS OF ONLINE LEARNING
Vehicle Combat
Technical and positional problems created by vehicles, integrating movement, access, angles and decision-making around the vehicle environment.
Blended training format
Edged Weapons8 HOURS IN PERSON
Knife Combat
An intensive course focused on knife combat within the ABA Intl system, addressing distance, movement, timing and practical combative decision-making.
Close-range combatives
Low Light • Context8 HOURS IN PERSON
Low Light
Performance in reduced illumination, where visual information, identification and weapon handling are affected by the light environment.
Reduced illumination
Extreme Close Range8 HOURS IN PERSON
Zero Distance
Armed responses at extremely short distances, where space, access and reaction windows are severely compressed.
Compressed distance
Everyday Carry • Context2 DAYS IN PERSON + 15 DAYS OF ONLINE LEARNING
Concealed Carry
Concealed carry as a complete operating context: access from concealment, presentation, decision-making and the constraints created by clothing and everyday carry.
Blended training format
Multi-Platform • Applied8 HOURS IN PERSON
Rifle–Pistol Transitions
Managing the transition between long gun and handgun platforms while preserving continuity of action, control and decision-making.
Multi-platform management
Cognitive Operator3 LEVELS • PISTOL OR RIFLE
Cognitive Operator
A progressive three-level pathway for Pistol or Rifle. Each level combines two in-person days with 15 days of online learning.
Pistol track • Rifle track
Cognitive Operator
Progressive complexity. Measurable performance.
Two weapon-system tracks — Pistol or Rifle — with three progressive levels. Each level adds complexity while retaining the same ABA Intl doctrine and TMM assessment logic.
