Welcome to Tactical Judo Solutions

---

We have specifically designed this course to teach your officers Judo-based alternatives to striking.

We’ll start with a one-hour classroom session where we discuss the legal ramifications of strikes or choke holds, which are currently the subject of intensely negative media scrutiny and often the basis for costly Excessive Use of Force lawsuits. We’ll detail the principles of Judo and ways that these techniques are more effective than traditional striking.

We'll then focus on the basics for any physical encounter hands-on for the next three hours. We’ll teach your officers the fundamentals of falling without injury and then build upon that foundation as we delve into a spectrum of moves to recover from surprise attacks, including escapes, arm grabs, and wrist control. Your officers will practice these moves with their partner under the close supervision of black belt Judo instructors.

Our goal upon completion is that your officers can avoid injury in a sudden fall or from being knocked down, escape from an attacker either standing or on the ground, apply pain compliance techniques as necessary, and safely take a suspect into custody. 

Class Format

We conduct a one-hour classroom discussion followed by three hours of hands-on training on your premises. Participants should wear comfortable clothes for athletic movement, such as normal boots, BDU pants or sweats, and a t-shirt. Although the techniques we cover are fully compatible with a duty belt, we will not wear belts in class to avoid wear and tear on the mats. All weapons should be secured away from the training area.

This course has been approved by the Peace Officer Standards and Training Program (POST) and will contribute four hours towards each participant’s annual Continuing Law Enforcement Education (CLEE) training requirements.
