In this episode of First Person Defender, we throw Michael into a high-pressure force-on-force training scenario known as the Hooded Box Drill. Watch as he’s suddenly thrust into an office ambush, forced to identify the threat, make split-second decisions, and defend a colleague under stress, mirroring the chaos of real-life active shooter situations.

We break down his reactions, tactics, and emotional responses in detail. Learn what worked, what didn’t, and how training transforms mindset and performance. This episode is a must-watch for anyone serious about self-defense readiness and understanding real-world dynamics.

First Person Defender Season 14 is brought to you by CCW Safe, Colt, Crimson Trace, HK-USA, Ruger, and Umarex/T4E.
