“Always assume that your opponent is going to be bigger, stronger and faster than you; so that you learn to rely on technique, timing and leverage rather than brute strength.” -#heliogracie ?Respect to @memarie95 for coming in to train prior to the start of her shift! She has been in law enforcement for a little more than a year and patrols while most of the city she works in is asleep. Like our agency, her department also allows its officers to use the VNR (aka RNC, or 裸絞) when dealing with a combative/assaultive person, so we worked on some transitions to the back, encircling the neck, then transitions to handcuffing and she did awesome. Next week we will work the other side of the coin and practice some counters and defense against it. #jiujitsu and #judo practitioners are often surprised to find out that in law enforcement, many departments place this technique at the same level of force as using a firearm. The bilateral compression of the carotid arteries allows a smaller person or officer like Megan a chance to survive a violent encounter against someone who is much bigger and stronger. Unlike knocking someone out with a strike, when this technique is performed correctly it causes no injury to the assailant. If you are in law enforcement and are interested in free DT training, send me a message.
