Combatives!
Hand TO Hand,
I agree, many people claiming to study combatives fail to realize the totality of training. As civilians (for the most part) they lack several aspects of combatives.
I am in a civilian role using combatives training in full. Yes, I practice martial arts and yes they play a role in my day to day duties! However, I spend equal training time on arrest and control, impact weapons, censor supression (gas, white light)...now major training roles in mental aspects are even primary to the physical...The proper application of the "Use of force continuem", threat assesment, ect.
Basically, there are many aspect to combatives outside the relm of punching and kicking!
As a civilian working as a proffesional security agent (corporate security, personal protection, ect.) I advise criminal justice classes as well as arrest and control, alternative force (impact baton, pepper spray, ect.) plus traditional arms (pistol, long gun), and hand to hand defensive tactics!
To all who practice MA's for the purpose of self defense; you should be training in the legal aspects as well!
Stop! (very loudly) I AM AFFRAID of YOU! (draw attention)...DO NOT COME ANY CLOSER OR I WILL DEFEND MY SELF AND WILL NOT HOLD BACK! (affords your attacker the opportunity to retreat and if he does not then you have proven reason to fear bodily harm...even allowing you a preimptive strike as you had reason to fear an attack even before allowing the attacker the opportunity to harm you!)...This is only a brief summorization of tactics!
THese tactics are very important in a civilian role (even law enforcement)
yet are far to often not taught these techniques which are very important!
Now, I have traveled off path, but to those of you whom view this as new or even unnecissary...YOU ARE NOT TRAINING IN COMBATIVES OR DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUES in their TOTALITY!
Spookey!
