Loren W. Christensen – Restraint and Control Strategies

RESTRAINT AND CONTROL STRATEGIES

State-of-the-Art Defensive Tactics for Law Enforcement Professionals

With Loren W. Christensen

“Christensen’s low-keyed, personable presentation makes it seem that he’s teaching just me, one on one.”

“His years of teaching experience are obvious. His teaching style makes the material so easy to understand and extremely easy to follow.”

From the filthy streets of war-torn Saigon to the crime-ridden underbelly of Portland’s infamous skid row, Loren Christensen has been there, holding the “thin blue line.” In this groundbreaking dvd production from Paladin Press, Christensen distills more than 37 years of martial arts training and 29 years of law enforcement experience and defensive tactics training into a street-proven system that is efficient, easy to learn and legally defensible.

This dvd set is not a contrived system of new techniques, or a new method of handcuffing. All techniques conclude in a position where you can apply the handcuffing method you already use.

Tape One examines those basic techniques taught in most police agencies but get “watered down” (weakened) over the years. Christensen shows you important details for making the joint locks, holds and takedowns you already know more effective, more painful, easier to apply, safer for you, and ultimately safer for the suspect to reduce law suits. Christensen points out common errors and then teaches you multiple but subtle variations, showing you that sometimes adjusting a technique only one inch will dramatically increase its effectiveness. Approximately 100 minutes.

Tape Two examines a large variety of techniques, concepts and principles applicable to the dangerous job of dealing with a resisting suspect. You will learn

how to use the circle to take down even the biggest offenders

striking techniques that maximize pain but minimize injury

excruciating pressure points

how to use your knees to escape from tight spots

hair twisting techniques to affect painful control

the concept of balance

the power of leverage when pain doesn’t work

how to use secondary techniques and critical combative principles for those times when your first technique fails. Approximately 95 minutes

Although designed for law enforcement professionals, this dvd set is also an invaluable tool for any jujitsu or aikido practitioner who wants to make his joint-lock techniques street realistic.
