Description: This 5-day, highly dynamic course is like no other because it provides useful defensive and countermeasure skills in all three zones of defense, especially for close quarter battles (CQB) and effecting the arrest. It relies heavily on practical, hands-on applications and is intended for those who want instruction in the proper uses of both soft and hard empty-hand techniques, weapons retention, and use of straight batons (expandable or rigid) for self-defense. The course also provides subject-control for escort/takedown and handcuffing, handcuffing techniques for passive and active resistant individuals with chain and hinge cuffs, along with proper usage and application of aerosol OC.
