The ICPS AKA the “Israeli method of Point
Shooting is often regarded as a shooting style, when it is in fact a
small percent of what makes this method unique and extremely
effective. The ICPS initial form was adapted from the FSA
(Fairbairn, Sykes and Applegate) Point Shooting method, based on the
shooter Instinctive reactions and Kinematics to quickly engage close
range targets.
The
major contributed change to ICPS occurred in 1975 with the
establishment of the YAMAM ,
first Israeli Police fully dedicated Counter Terrorism Unit. Because
of its specialty in Counter Terrorism, hostage rescue and high
violent crime, the unit performs in actual conflicts particularly in
highly populated urban environments. This vast experience enabled
the unit to develop comprehensive small arms training doctrines that
were so effective, reliable and user friendly, it was generally
accepted by all armed branches of the Israeli security forces such
as the Secret Service (Shin Bet), elite IDF Units, Israeli National
Police and other Intelligence and Counter Terrorism
units.
Regarded as a Tactical
Response and not as a shooting style, it incorporates all
necessary progressive battlefield tactical thinking molded into set
of Instinctive actions and reactions of the operator. The Israeli
shooting method is radically different from other combat techniques;
success is based on actual performance.
The
ICPS has the distinct advantage of proving itself effective time
after time, probably more than any other. It is literally practiced
and perfected during daily performance by its core users.
The
guiding principle of the ICPS is to neutralize the threat in the
quickest way possible, using the natural Instincts inherited in
every human. Aggressiveness, determination and speed are integral
elements of the ICPS method and proper mindset is heavily
stressed.
Stress and pressure (High adrenaline levels) are
introduced in the advanced stages of the training in order to
accustom trainees to pressure associated with actual events. This
approach is specially geared towards deadly force situations rather
than shooting competitions, where often times techniques which
brings high levels of accuracy on the range, often fail under real
life stress.
This very
same system has been taught to thousands of civilians from all walks
of life in Israel with great success rates of actual performance.
The ICPS method has proved itself through experience time after time
to be well suited for the private citizen as well as the Law
Enforcement officer and the Combat soldier.
