Effectiveness in law enforcement control and arrest tactics training requires a safe environment. Trainers accept responsibility for maintaining that atmosphere.

Many departments and law enforcement academies have specific guidelines to implement and enforce for maintaining safety. However, it is important to remind students and trainers of some relevant rules for control and arrest tactics to use during training.

RUSSIAN SOMBO & HAPKIDO BLEND

Hapkido is a Korean martial art with deep roots in the Japanese samurai-era martial art Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu. Hapkido is essential Korean expression of Japanese old school Samurai-Jujitsu, Aikido and non-sport Taekwondo.

In the 1920s, Russian military needed a new combat system which would improve fighting abilities of their servicemen.

The final product was Sambo (also, called ‘SOMBO). It’s a unique blend of Japanese Jujitsu (judo), catch wrestling and full-contact Shinbudo and combat boxing. They took only the best techniques from each of these arts so that a person can use them in real combat. They called this new system “Sambo” which translates to “self-defense without weapons”. 

FILIPINO KALI & PENCAK SILAT

The Philippine Islands and Malaysia are home to the most brutal, highly effective close quarters fighting systems known to man.

PTK is a complete fighting system based on the use of bladed weapons (the karambit, fixed blade knives, the machete) and impact weapons (sticks, pipes and improvised weapons of opportunity) as well as striking with every limb of the body, foot sweeps, body throws and joint-locks.
