THE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN THE POPULARITY AND PRACTICE OF THE MARTIAL ARTS AND THEIR USE AGAINST LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL HAS GIVEN RISE TO A NEW AND DISTURBING PROBLEM BETWEEN POLICE AND CERTAIN SEGMENTS OF THE PUBLIC.
Abstract
THEREFORE THE MICHIGAN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS' TRAINING COUNCIL HAS DEVELOPED AN ADVANCED POLICE TRAINING COURSE TO PROVIDE PARTICIPATING POLICE OFFICERS WITH FUNCTIONAL AND OPERATIONAL KNOWLEDGE OF KARATE, KUNG-FU, AND THE OTHER MARTIAL ARTS. THE COURSE COVERS THESE TECHNIQUES, WARNING SIGNS THAT WILL ASSIST THE OFFICER IN IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUALS SKILLED IN THE MARTIAL ARTS, AND INFORMATION AS TO WHAT THE OFFICER SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR IN CONFRONTATION SITUATIONS WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS. THE FIVE-DAY, 40 HOUR TRAINING COURSE CURRICULUM REVIEWS THE USE AND POTENTIAL OF THE HUMAN BODY; STANCES, TARGETS, AND TECHNIQUES; AND OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUES FOR USE AGAINST ARMED AND UNARMED OPPONENTS. OTHER DEFENSIVE TACTICS OUTLINED AND ILLUSTRATED INCLUDE BATON TECHNIQUES FOR USE AGAINST ARMED AND UNARMED OPPONENTS AND LAST RESORT TECHNIQUES. THIS INSTRUCTOR'S MANUAL LISTS COURSE TRAINING OBJECTIVES, PROVIDES A CLASS OUTLINE AND SCHEDULE, AND PRESENTS PROCEDURES FOR CONDUCTING THE ACTUAL PROGRAM AND EVALUATING AND GRADING STUDENTS.
