“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 ? **DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME** Dave is a foot taller and 85lbs heavier than Rachel. He was curious to see how effective a properly applied Vascular Neck Restraint is. Rachel is at the beginning of her #lawenforcement career and comes in to train on her days off. 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 the proper application and a transition to handcuffing and she did awesome! #jiujitsu and #judo practitioners are often surprised to find out that many departments place this technique at the same level of force as using a firearm or prohibit its use completely. The bilateral compression of the carotid arteries allows a smaller person or officer like Rachel a realistic chance to survive a violent encounter against someone who is much bigger and stronger. The added benefit is that 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.
