LAW ENFORCEMENT DEFENSIVE TACTICS TRAINING
Certified Instructor - Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training (AZPOST), and Staff Instructor of the International Police Defensive Tactics Institute (IPDTI), I have taught thousands of Law Enforcement and Security personnel all over the world. Law Enforcement and Security Personnel have exceptional requirements that must be addressed in a very specialized manner. Members of this vast community which encompasses City, County, State and Federal Agencies as well as Correction, Military Police and the private security industry, have very specific needs in the area of Defensive Tactics, focusing primarily on controlling techniques, restraint and immobilization, weapon retention and weapons disarming. Technical material must be consistent with a philosophy that promotes safety and reduction of liability. Most “civilian Martial Arts” approaches to Police Defensive Tactics do not meet that challenge and may actually be incompatible with the Law Enforcement environment.
MILITARY COMBATIVES TRAINING COURSES
Having served proudly and retired from the US Armed Forces after 20-years. I am a proud member and Staff Instructor of the Military Combatives Association (MCA). I am dedicated to the advancement of “Combatives” training for all the branches of the US Military and its allies. Realistic and effective combatives training (also known as “Hand-to-Hand” Combat) is an essential component of military skills development that tangibly enhances the overall safety and the survival ability of military personnel.
GROUND SURVIVAL INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION SEMINARS
The Combat Hapkido Ground Survival program is a multi-level course of instruction in the science of ground fighting. Founded and directed by Master Rivas, Combat Hapkido Ground Survival is not about “wrestling” or “ground grappling”. It is about successfully fighting back an attack while in the most dangerous position in self-defense; escaping and quickly recovering the safer, dominant standing position. The effective, realistic techniques of this indispensable program are the result of many years of study, research and practical application.
