Police Aikido will teach you to quickly, quietly and effectively bring a combative subject under control while using the least amount of force necessary. Aikido techniques can be used by anyone regardless of their size and strength because Aikido uses the offender’s strength against himself. The techniques are easy to use and give students a great deal of confidence in their ability to subdue even the most aggressive subjects. You will learn (how to): · Conduct Takedowns with minimal force · Quickly Control a Violent Suspect with pressure points · Move properly to defend yourself · Medium/High Risk Handcuffing · Weapon Retention · Defend Against Weapons · Use the subject’s strength and weight—not yours! · Confidence · CAMERA FRIENDLY TECHNIQUES! GTI’s black belt instructors have condensed their vast knowledge of techniques and principles into a three-day training workshop designed specifically for dealing with dangerous offenders and making the arrest. You will learn physical skills which apply across a broad spectrum of circumstances. When you complete this course, you will have the emotional, mental and physical skills to handle difficult situations with balance, poise and confidence.
