Loren W. Christensen – Restraint and Control Strategies

Loren W. Christensen – Restraint and Control Strategies “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 learnhow to use the circle to take down even the biggest offendersstriking techniques that maximize pain but minimize injuryexcruciating pressure pointshow to use your knees to escape from tight spotshair twisting techniques to affect painful controlthe concept of balancethe power of leverage when pain doesn’t workhow to use secondary techniques and critical combative principles for those times when your first technique fails. Approximately 95 minutesAlthough 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.For information purposes only.
