SAFE Scenario Trainer — Build Scenarios That Start Before the Fight

Most scenario training fails because it turns into acting and force. This tool helps instructors train awareness, decision-making, and prevention — without escalating risk.

  • Start scenarios earlier: context, distance, emotion
  • Reduce false confidence and “fight-first” habits
  • Keep drills realistic without turning unsafe
