Training opps

Training:

A study completed by Emergency Survival Responses , LLC in 2010 showed that 97% of patrol officers in Colorado carry one or more knives as part of their daily uniform/tool-box while on duty.

Do your officers? Have they ever received “User- training” with the Duty-knife? They receive training with every other weapon (lethal or less-lethal) that they carry. Training builds skill, confidence and awareness; which in turn reduces liability.

I love this show and how it breaks techniques down and shows the inner workings/re-actions of the body:

Training Drills

Here are two links to short training videos. They take you through some Combo drills where you start the attack with one type of attack and immediately move into another type of attack.

These drills are good for you to add after you start by simply refreshing on the seven lines. If you get through the two drills quickly, then you can always repeat with alternating grips (forward-reverse) and then try off-hand.  Start off with 10-20 reps for each line combo…

Let me know if there are any questions:
