Loren W. Christensen- Restraint and Control StrategiesThis is mainly aimed at cops, bouncers and security professionals who cannot afford to just smash some guys head in where there is trouble. This is about hard and effect take downs and  how to hurt someone without doing serious (lawsuit worthy) permanent damage to them. Still, this is a take down and wrap up course and not a full ‘all points addressed’ fighting system. Know that when u view these DVDs.Loren was a cop for almost 3 decades so he knows his shit when it comes to doing, and thankfully teaching, moves like this. He is old as shit (looks like a granddad! ) – but once u see him giving the instruction you can see his age is a boon. He has an encyclopedic like understanding of how to move the body to get it to comply. I loved the section on how to switch from a join lock to head control when a take down stalls from a joint lock. Too often so many fancy locks and holds do no work as they do in some book when u have to apply them IRL. LOL! A little sparring will show anyone that fact! To understand how to use body mechanics and momentum, as with the use of the head, to finish the take down fast and hard is very useful info. There are so many gems- like how to look at a guy (where to watch his body) in a way that lets you see any attack he might try but at the same time you are neutral and in a non aggressive posture… Great stuff! No, that is NOT watching his hands either. Loren says why that is not as good…This is worth a view if you do take downs in the gym in ur sparing but are not sure how well you might really be able to pull them off IRL. There are some great pointers here!Marketing copy:Quote:RESTRAINT AND CONTROL STRATEGIESState-of-the-Art Defensive Tacticsfor Law Enforcement ProfessionalsWith Loren W. Christensen”Christensen’s low-keyed, personable presentation makes it seem that he’s teaching just me, one on one.””His years of teaching experience are obvious. His teaching style makes the material so easy to understand and extremely easy to follow.”From the filthy streets of war-torn Saigon to the crime-ridden underbelly of Portland’s infamous skid row, Loren Christensen has been there, holding the “thin blue line.” In this groundbreaking dvd production from Paladin Press, Christensen distills more than 44 years of martial arts training and 29 years of law enforcement experience and defensive tactics training into a street-proven system that is efficient, easy to learn and legally defensible. This DVD set is not a contrived system of new techniques, or a new method of handcuffing. All techniques conclude in a position where you can apply the handcuffing method you already use.It examines those basic techniques taught in most police agencies but get “watered down” (weakened) over the years. Christensen shows you important details for making the joint locks, holds and takedowns you already know more effective, more painful, easier to apply, safer for you, and ultimately safer for the suspect to reduce law suits. Christensen points out common errors and then teaches you multiple but subtle variations, showing you that sometimes adjusting a technique only one inch will dramatically increase its effectiveness. It examines a large variety of techniques, concepts and principles applicable to the dangerous job of dealing with a resisting suspect. You will learn* how to use the circle to take down even the biggest offenders* striking techniques that maximize pain but minimize injury* excruciating pressure points* how to use your knees to escape from tight spots* hair twisting techniques to affect painful control* the concept of balance* the power of leverage when pain doesn’t work* how to use secondary techniques and critical combative principles for those times when your first technique fails. Although designed for law enforcement professionals, this DVD is also an invaluable tool for any jujitsu or aikido practitioner who wants to make his joint-lock techniques street realistic.Site is here:http://www.lwcbooks.com/videos/restraintandcontrolvid.htmlAlso get the book  Christensen wrote called “Street Stoppers”http://www.amazon.com/Street-Stoppers-Martial-Devastating-Fi…Holy SHIT is that book useful and just plain awesome!
