Hello,
I was reading a law enforcement self defense book called Law enforcement:
reasonable force options. It was written by Rod Sanford. In this book he
said that, based on an L.A.P.D. study by Sergeant Greg Dossey, 62% of
officer involved altercations ended up with the two parties grappling on the
ground.
I am attending a P.O.S.T. academy in California now. This is the basic
academy that California requires in order to become a peace officer. I am
very, very upset that there is no ground fighting taught in the academy. I
have taken it upon myself to teach some other interested recruits a little
grappling.
I have found more than a little resistance from the self defense instructors
and others in the academy staff. I took a strong stance when they tried to
dissuade me from teaching the grappling. After I got a cautious okay to
start teaching I only had two willing students. After the first class I now
have about fifteen who want to be in the next class (this Sunday). Opening
their eyes to ground fighting has actually made them scared of their own
