In this comprehensive 5-day Missouri 40-Hour P.O.S.T. approved Instructor Program, we have designed a new program that will allow an Officer to seamlessly transition from Standing Techniques to Ground Techniques, with an emphasis on Officer Survival.

​

This seminar will award the participant with Defensive Tactics Instructor Certification that covers the following subjects:

• Officer Entry Techniques – Closing the gap and taking control. We have found that closing the gap in a non-compliant arrest situation is a large part of the battle that Officers face. We teach DT Instructors real world techniques that close the gap quickly, and effectively seize control of an offender’s body from a variety of situations, whether it is simple passive non-compliant person, or a person that is actively attacking an Officer.

• 2 Officer takedowns

• Gross motor skill Brazilian Jiu Jitsu techniques for high level resistance control

• Physics Based Wrist, Arm and Shoulder Locks (locks that WORK!)

• Standing Escort Techniques

• Defenses against common attacks including punches, charges and grabs.

• Gross Motor skill takedowns such as Single Leg, Double Leg & Body-fold takedowns as examples.

• Manipulating a subject on the ground into a handcuffing position once a takedown has been achieved.

• Officer Survival and Defense on the ground

 

Electives: ( Emergency Ground Survival is required if they have not had other certification or training in ground prior to this course)
