U-DTAC
Universal Defensive Tactics
Professional defensive tactics for security and protective-service personnel. Created by Kevin L. Lewis.
Built for the job — not the mat
Universal Defensive Tactics, or U-DTAC, is a practical defensive-tactics system developed specifically for security officers, executive-protection professionals, and others working in protective-service roles. Unlike a traditional martial arts class, U-DTAC addresses the real responsibilities and limitations of the modern security professional.
Training emphasizes the appropriate use of force while balancing three essential requirements: safety, effectiveness, and defensibility.
Students develop practical skills in officer safety, subject control, escorts, takedowns, handcuffing, weapon protection and retention, defense against common attacks, ground survival, de-escalation, and force-related decision-making.
Training is conducted through structured instruction, partner practice, problem-solving exercises, and progressively challenging drills. All training is conducted in a professional and safety-controlled environment.
