Innovative Baton of Law Enforcement – When you're in law enforcement, there's no room for second-guessing. You've got to have the tools, techniques and proper training to deal with potential threats. That's why this special instructional Tongfa Police Baton program was developed by American martial arts pioneer and Okinawan Kobudo (Ancient Weapon Ways) Tongfa expert Sid Campbell over 30 years ago. It was the first and original training regimen with the Side-Handle Baton to be introduced to law enforcement agencies in the United States. There is a big difference between formal martial arts training and the martial arts self-defense tactics. Formal martial arts training takes place through daily practice over a long period of time. This program is much less involved. Deputies must learn weaponless defense, because they're put into positions where they must defend themselves. Often, such as when working corrections (jail), they are not allowed to carry weapons. But weaponless defense is only part of the whole defense tactics program included in this highly informative educational course. Campbell reveals and masterfully demonstrates why the Tongfa Police Baton is more versatile than the so-called straight stick. He explains and carefully teaches that It's faster because it has a short handle that is perpendicular to its body. This small yawara handgrip is used as a pivot point where the user can use leverage and fulcrum tactics that are not possible with the straight baton.

The Persuader key holder is probably the most popular weapon of opportunity of modern times. Originally called the Yawara; then the Kubotan; and now “The Persuader”; it is an excellent weapon for men; women; and children if the basics are mastered. There are many fancy techniques using the Persuader; but this DVD concentrates on the moves that really count in self defense: the basics. Professor George Sylvain; a former police officer; teaches how to use the weapon of opportunity in easy concise steps that all can follow. Plus he talks about survival in the streets of a major city.
