Sifu Baker’s extraction of the lessons of a warrior’s quest through his own unique journey provides a map through the hazardous minefield of true warrior education. True wisdom has the insight to learn from others, especially in an arena where mistakes can be deadly. Enjoy the reward with far less risk.

The C-Tac – Civilian Tactical Program by Prof Alan Baker is one of the most valuable programs existing today for instructors of Personal Safety. Today’s instructors who are focused on possible ways of assisting their students in protecting themselves have a resource through Coach Baker that reaches deeper into avenues of protection than the usual self-defense program or even the basic law enforcement program.
The program provides socially acceptable ways to deal with fundamental verbal assault or how the basic verbal can escalate to a physical assault or having the threat draw a firearm.

Who Is Alan Baker
Professor Alan Baker is a high-performance coach and an internationally recognized martial arts & self-defense expert. He has over 44 years of continuous experience in the arts. He has been training continuously in the fitness and Martial Arts field since 1981 and has been teaching professionally since 1990. Baker founded the Civilian Tactical Training Association in 2015 and continues establishing C-Tac® instructors today.
In the course of his career, he has attained the level of black belt or higher in multiple disciplines of martial arts as well as numerous instructor-level certifications in other systems under some of the industry’s most renowned teachers such as Tuhon Dan Inosanto, Master Pedro Sauer, Sifu Francis Fong, Master Erik Paulson, Ajarn Chai Sirisute, Ajarn Greg Nelson, Tuhon Tim Waid, Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje, Jr, Professor James Cravens, Master Bob Byrd, Guro Don Garon, Grandmaster Dana Miller, Sifu Paul Vunak and Coach Justo Dieguez.
In the tactical training field, Sifu Baker has taught countermeasures and defensive tactics, firearms, and edged-weapon programs through his Baker Tactical Training & Design Group to Fortune 500 corporate security teams and law enforcement / SWAT teams throughout the United States from the Marietta SWAT team here in Georgia to the Cincinnati SWAT team and the California Highway Patrol unit to name a few. He has been privileged to work with and design training programs for the Department of Defense, CIA, and other specialized government and military groups like the U.S. Department Of Homeland Security.
Sifu Baker is a certified Armed Personal Protection Specialist and the Defensive Tactics Instructor for The Executive Protection Institute in Clarke County, Virginia, where he created a specialized defensive tactics program for Protection Agents (Bodyguards) named Protection Response Tactics.

VDI & EPI are considered the top schools for teaching Executive Protection (Bodyguards) and tactical / security driving globally.
As a student of the arts for 40-plus years, I have had the good fortune to receive training in several different martial arts systems. All of which I found to be beneficial. While I was confident in my ability to defend myself, I was uncertain how to do so while remaining on the right side of the law. The C-Tac Civilian Tactical SelfDefense Program has taught me to handle almost any potentially life-threatening situation while minimizing the risk of death or serious injury to myself or a would-be attacker. From de-escalating with proper posturing, proper vocal commands, or environmental awareness to significantly increase my odds of survival if violently attacked. I have never experienced training that compared to the instruction that I have received in the Civilian Tactical Program under the direction of Sifu Alan Baker. I am grateful for the opportunity to teach the C-tac program in my academy. This program is the perfect addition to any martial art system or as a primary system. Every school should be offering offer C-tac. Whether you are a student looking for more or an instructor looking to offer more, Give Sifu Baker a call. You will be glad you did.

C-Tac® is designed to answer questions typical Martial Arts systems do not address. In today’s society, you must consider how your actions will be perceived visually and socially. Visually because everywhere you go in today’s society, there is a recording device capturing everything you do. Socially because society’s perception of what you are doing can have a tremendous effect on the legalities of your actions.
The C-Tac program will expand your knowledge of the firearm and how to access it under the chaos/stress of an attack with drills to increase response time. In addition, the way you look at your environment and how you verbally and physically respond to a threat in the street will not only save you but is socially acceptable in today’s society of everyone filming everything that happens to us, including being assaulted. Law enforcement only comes after the crime occurs.
