BJJ Black Belt teaches cops subject control techniques.

Kevin from GaRD Defense Solutions is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black belt and police officer. In this video he teaches a standing subject control technique using "upper limb management" option for law enforcement.

That is a spectacular technique. Thank you very much for showing us the move; it's simplistic and quicly applied with very little thought. I greatly appreciate you letting us see that.

I really like that. We have a lot of LEO's in my system so we do a lot of control techniques in addition to everything else we do. I am going to add this one. Often we would go to a hammer lock capped off with a finger lock to use pain compliance to get them on the ground to apply restraints. I can see the value in this technique and actually getting them hooked up faster than the hammer lock.

[@garddefensesolutions7367]

Thank you. We've used this in real world application a lot with much success. Also this is a weird one to create a visual for because it feels quit a bit different than it looks. There is a lot of pressure there.

Great job 👏👏👏

[@Red-ch2hc]

Nice, easy technique. Thanks for sharing. There are not enough of these types taught in LE DT, ie. not full blown resisting but the time for talking is over. Can see this quick, effective physical intervention potentially shutting down possibility of physical resistance while remaining "camera friendly". Keep these coming please.

[@garddefensesolutions7367]

Thank you so much! We have several more like this planned.

[@rodvan-zeller6360]

is it realistic to think that you can do that on some one weights 150 pounds more than you has already killed people when he was in jail and has decided he wants to murder you?

[@garddefensesolutions7367]

This is an option for a mostly compliant person that gives an officer a little more control than many "escort" positions currently taught. A situation that officers often find themselves in. This is not meant for an all out fight.

[@timiakinnusotu5812]

will this work with someone who is taller or has more muscle around the tricep or around the underarm part?

[@garddefensesolutions7367]

We have found issues when the subject is too tall, however the more muscle we've typically found that it works more. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the technique. I like how you explain cutting off the upper arm to control the lower arm, I think that detail is very important since a lot of people will chase the wrist forgetting it is attached up at the shoulder. From an open carry perspective I think its important to go towards the mirror side that your firearm is on. Meaning if my firearm is on my right hip, I feel it would be safer to go to their left arm...just incase they are quick enough or flexible enough to reach around to my waist with their free hand my weapon would be as far away from their reach as possible. I would like to hear your perspective if it different though!

[@garddefensesolutions7367]

Thank you for commenting. I completely agree with you that weapon side should always be protected. I do recommend however, being proficient on both sides with almost any technique practiced, for we don't always get to choose what is available to us, or often times in confined spaces we may only have one option. Stay safe!

[@Mounty621]

Great point! That was my issue

[@davidtice4972]

I like what you taught. A question. How often do police in general take people down to the ground.

[@garddefensesolutions7367]

Thank you for your comment. I guess the answer is that it's actually rare if you put it on a percentage of people we have physical contact with. Usually we would take someone down to get them off their feet which is where they are the most powerful. Anything you do, you have more power if you are on your feet and are able to create power from your feet to your core. Swing a baseball bat, throw a football, or throw a punch. So if you're taken to the ground it significantly limits your power base. As always, the situation dictates the action.

[@davidtice4972]

@@garddefensesolutions7367 That a great answer and the one I needed.
