"Fighting is hard enough
without having
to remember how to fight"©
This IS the Revolution in police defensive tactics.
Our training abandons complicated, technique-driven,
Aikido-/jujitsu-based training designed by martial artists for martial
artists. Instead, we have a simple program of "Effective Combatives Problem-Solving"© utilizing exclusively the “Universal Rules &
Principles of Defense”© that is effective, easy to retain,
and easy to apply for every officer. Proven by police officers
on the mean streets for over 20 years, it is the only defensive
tactics program in existence that is based on the aptitude and skills
of your weakest and smallest officers.
We
prepare you and your officers by utilizing drills that deeply embed
and condition a "Threat Recognition Response.©"
All physical assault on officers are foreshadowed by threat cues by
the suspect. Recognizing these warning signs early and
responding to them effectively is the key to surviving. These
specialized drills, found no where else, quickly provides you with the
skills to quickly recognize a developing threat, with the physical
skills and decision-making processes to problem-solve a solution to
any defense need.
This
course provides extensive instruction in the following areas:
-
Constitutional Limits to
the Use of Police Force (this is needed to place the curriculum in a
legally acceptable context, reinforcing our participants’ reasonable
force conduct and their ability to articulate their actions when
they return to duty).
-
Skills development.
-
"Effective Combatives
Problem-Solving©"
including "Threat Recognition Response Drills.©"
-
Defensive tactics.
-
Arrest & control.
-
Weapon retention.
-
Knife defense.
-
Police GroundDefense.
-
Multiple officer
takedowns.
This
is a very popular seminar that provides officers with the tools and
reinforcement of problem-solving through the Universal Laws and Principles of Defense©
to reasonably and competently use on the street. We constantly see
officers from these seminars months and years later who are able to
apply the training without thinking about which way to turn or how to
grab the suspect when faced with an aggressively resisting suspect.
Simple. Effective. Non-technical. For real officers, not police
martial artists…Real world defensive tactics in the real world of
arrest, defense, and control—not Hollywood or fantasy-based. We teach
you to problem-solve without complication or pretense, just like in
real “police” fights!
Available only through
CUTTING EDGE TRAINING!
Our "Real-World Police GroundDefense"
block is designed for police officers in
the real world who struggle and fight with suspects on the ground.
Because more than 8 out of 10 police uses of force end up on the
ground, you and your officer need a real world response to the down
and dirty street fights on the ground. Our Police GroundDefense
has no jujitsu or wrestling moves for winning in tournaments...because
your officers cannot learn them in the time allowed them in training.
We concentrate on officers applying simple rules and principles along
with their skills to successfully hold a suspect to the ground, defend
against a more highly skilled fighter, and to more safely take a
resistive suspect into custody.
This training has been
described by participants as:
Practical
It works for everyone--not just your martial artists. It is
simple, it is outcome-based (no techniques that are graded as
"correctly performed"), and it recognizes that you don't always get to
arrest and potentially fight with people you are stronger than or will
passively accept the latest "wristy-twisty" that some "authority" says
will work but never does (because, according to the "authority," you
are not applying it "correctly")
Uh, just one question: Have these people EVER been in a fight?.
Tactical
There is a reality out there...sometimes, some people want to hurt, or
even kill an officer. The Universal Defense Systems is fanatic
about following Safe Tactical Doctrine. This system of
self-defense and suspect arrest tactics reflects that the
principles of safe tactics are not thrown out of the window because
you, the professional peace officer, are magically exempt from safety
rules because you are in a defense countermeasures or arrest situation.
Realistic
Our training is about "combat realities" faced by real officers in the
real world. Fantasies about catching knife hands, instantly
responding to a suspect's movement, and what you "can" do (if
everything is perfect and everyone cooperates) will only get you
killed. We understand that officers, because of their human
response limitations, are behind everyone else on the street
(action-reaction realities). We understand that much of staying
alive and uninjured is understanding what you CAN'T do real
world of fighting a suspect who is unsearched, desperate, and with
unknown intentions. We have studied the real world realities of
weapon retention, defense situations, knife attacks on armed officers,
and provide training you can apply in the real world of real policing.
Defensible
The entire course is stringently based upon the latest
laws governing the police force response. Officers are trained
and then required to articulate their force solutions and
responses on the training floor. This course provides the only
police training that combines the physical skills, problem-solving
expertise, and the legal justification and basis for an officer's
force response combined into one heck of an effective training
program.
* NOTE:
This course can be reduced to 8 hours with the elimination or
condensing of the topics presented.
