Pro Systems The Basic Use Of 5 Weapons

Besides the body's natural weapons, we also emphasize how to use five basic weapons that can relate to numerous other common items for self-defense purposes. They include the following: The Short Stick, the Straight Stick (Straight Baton), the Side Handle (PR-24 Baton), the Knife and the Gun are the primary weapons in the Pro-Systems Combatives program.

This is the first volume of the Pro-Systems Combatives (PSC) system. This manual has all the basic techniques, principles and essential warm up drills required to learn the entire basic Pro-Systems Combatives (PSC) selfdefense/ offense system. This volume also covers responses to punching attacks, kicking attacks, wrist/arm grab attack counters, body grab counters and drills. Volume two covers the Pro-Systems Combatives (PSC) self-defense responses to chokes, head locks, knife, gun, multiple subjects and ground attack counters.

This baton manual takes a different approach on how to employ the standard straight police baton. Whether you carry the expandable type of baton or the standard rigid model, this text will provide a different perspective on how to use the baton for control and self defense. The Baton Reverse Grip System (BRGS)was not created to take the place of any other baton system. It was designated to increase an officer's options when employing the law rnforcement straight baton in arrest and control situations.

The straight stick has probably been used as a self-defense tool since a human made the first footprints on earth. Through the ages variations of the stick and staff have been created to make a better self-defense tool. The straight stick was turned into spears and swords. Understanding the basic use of the straight police baton makes it possible to use numerous other objects for self-defense. In fact, the same techniques taught for using the police baton relate to a host of stick fighting and sword arts such as Hanbo- Jutsu, Jo-Jutsu, Wakizashi-Jutsu and similar weapon combat systems. It is hoped this book will provide a basic overview of the many ways a straight baton can be used for self-defense, control and takedowns for law enforcement, security officers and martial artists studying weapons.

This manual was written for law enforcement and security officers who may be interested in the use of the Mini-Baton. The Mini-Baton can include any type of short stick such as the Yawara stick, Persuader Baton Kubatons, Tactical Pens and other short stick like object. Topics in this manual include: History of the short stick or Mini-Baton Basic principles of the Mini-Baton Stance and balance Basic gripping Basic blocking Basic striking Wrist control and takedown techniques How use the Mini-Baton for basic self-defense Basic teaching principles There is also a sample course outline for those who are interested following an organized program of learning this effective and practical self-defense and control tool.

Here is a book that every student and teacher of the combat arts will want to have in their personal library. There has never been a book about the combat arts as unique as this one. If you would love to know the basic tactical principles of some of the world's most effective fighting and combat systems this book is for you. There are more than 30 different arts and their tactical principles in this book. This is a manual you will refer to often as an excellent reference source on tactical principles.

This is a manual will be of interest to not only all Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics Instructors, but to anyone in the law enforcement field who is concerned about the facts and fallacies floating around this field. The following are just a sample of the questions this basic guide will answer: - Is law enforcement defensive tactics a science - Do the techniques and tactics you were taught always work on the street - What is reality based training as it applies to defensive tactics - Is there any formal martial art which is perfect for police officers - Should officers be taught striking techniques - Is the PR-24 Police Baton just a Tonfa - Is training once a year sufficient to remain competent in defensive tactics

Shotokan Karate is one of the most effective forms of self-defense but it is this area that is most ignored in traditional Shotokan dojos. This modest manual is different from most Shotokan Karate texts because it focuses on the self-defense application of karate. Traditional Shotokan karate concentrates on three primary areas. They are basics or Kihon, Kata or forms, and sparring or kumite. The sparring may consist of five times sparring, three times sparring, one time sparring, semi-free sparring and free sparring. Self-defense training is seldom practiced and this manual hopes to fill that gap for students of Shotokan and other traditional styles of Karate. This manual covers the basic principles of self-defense, use of force factors in self-defense, simple and effective self-defense techniques to counter arm grabs, body grabs, choke attacks, punching and kicking attack counters, club attacks, knife attacks, gun attacks, ground attacks and multiple attacker self-defense techniques.
