THE C-TAC STORY
At C-Tac, we recognized a crucial gap in the industry—a lack of comprehensive self-protection training offered by the average martial arts academies. In response, Coach Alan Baker designed the groundbreaking C-Tac® Curriculum, revolutionizing how we approach personal safety. Unlike typical self-defense programs, C-Tac goes beyond mere physical techniques and delves into studying the predatorial profile and mindset. We believe in equipping our students with the ability to think like a potential threat, enabling them to stay one step ahead in dangerous situations.
In the realm of self-protection, knowledge of pre-violence indicators is paramount. Our students learn to recognize these cues and employ effective strategies to de-escalate, disengage, or engage with a potential threat on the street. We emphasize the importance of utilizing verbal communication and non-threatening posturing before resorting to physical contact.

What People Are Saying About C-Tac
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.
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.
~ Lavonne M, Sarasota Florida
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.
~ Rick Fowler, Cleveland Tennessee
“Sifu Alan Baker has boiled down many of these life-enhancing perspectives into a source that shares the knowledge without the life-threatening consequences of attending the warrior’s alma mater of combat. 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. An old soldier’s purpose is to teach young soldiers how to become successful OLD soldiers.”
– MSG (Retired) Randy McElwee, US ARMY SPECIAL FORCES
“I can honestly say that Sifu Alan has over the years consistently impressed my students and myself with an expansion of concepts that forever improved and positively changed our skillset and abilities on the mat and the real world.”
— Coach Chris Mize Founder of Heroes Academy and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu of Birmingham
