Law Enforcement Seminars

The USKKA also proudly supports law enforcement (LE) professionals and as such we are dedicated to help them combat crime by helping them protect themselves and citizens from violence. We do this through teaching a specially developed police defensive tactics training system based on a variety of scenarios including weapons prevention, retention, and recovery techniques.

For LE, our seminars are geared specifically to:

Protect the officer from all threats of violence Protect the department from legal liability concerning use of force Protect the suspect from unreasonable or accidental injury

We consider every aspect of the LE professionals job from hindered movement due to gear inside a vehicle or due to clothing, physical size and possible skills of an opponent, natural and surrounding environmental conditions, and athletic abilities. Because of these aspects our LE seminars are geared to a variety of subjects such as:

1. Basic defensive tactics for LEO’s
2. Empty hand entry and control tactics
3. Takedown and restraints
4. Weapon prevention, retention and recovery
5. Disarming – weapons and edged weapons
6. Edged weapon awareness
7. Close quarter/Point shooting
8. Ground fighting and grappling situations
9. Baton/ASP tactics
10. Small group positional defenses
11. One-on-one physical control
12. Alternative firing positions with strong and empty hand
13. Personal search
14. Defeating multiple threats from an opponent
