Tonfa (Police Baton) Techniques for official use in the line of duty


Book Description

This book, written by an experienced German police officer and a long-time active martial artist, is structured professionally and purposefully. This is not about individual tonfa tricks, but rather simple solutions to the question: How can critical situations-with the involvement of the Tonfas-be successfully managed? This book is a good tool for those who want to achieve the training goal of effectively preventing attacks against themselves and their colleagues while maintaining legality. The first book of the author, Tonfa for police, security and Bundeswehr dealt with the basic techniques and the laws to be observed in Germany. This book deals with the practical application. The TONFA is not considered in isolation, but is combined with practice-proven martial arts techniques. If you take the book with you for training, you want to be able to immediately recognize how the presented technique sequences are to be executed. That is why all technique combinations have been designed to be overseeable and quickly understandable. The integrated detailed and background knowledge is important and helps to be able to use the Tonfa even more efficiently. These include topic-related research results from conflict research and well-explanatory quotes from international martial arts experts on the subject of dueling. Content: Task-related tonfa handling, keeping people away, arresting and transporting techniques, effective blocks in conjunction with meaningful counterattacks, training tips and suggestions on the subject of a sudden knife attack.
