This weekend has been provided free of charge and voluntary, a self defense seminar police aimed at women and based on this technique, which is not a martial art, not a contact sport or a technique sense. David Vallejo , police self defense instructor, explains that this is a set of techniques that try to recreate real situations that can confront the police in doing their job.
"The seminar teach them how to act, how not to act and, above all, what attitude should to a dangerous situation," says the instructor. The seminar is aimed at female police officers because they suffer more abuse than their male counterparts by criminals. The same initiative has come from the agents of the local police, as acknowledged by the instructor.
"Here they learn techniques for disarmament, control, transmission, immobilizing ... is a type of defense for the nature of each person " said Vallejo. Thus, what at first might be seen as a weakness, for example, less corpulent women from their hypothetical aggressor ends up becoming his best weapon.
techniques are very easy to learn, according to Vallejo. But very resolute. Especially when you learn to act in conditions of maximum stress. Thus, women who participate in the seminar, a dozen, practice these techniques under the maximum pressure : dark, or in the rain, or with a partner trying to distract their attention from the alleged thief, or facing several attackers alone. "Those situations are quite close to what you will find on the street."
Working under pressure
"weapons-knives and guns, not delivered to the partner during the exercises. Was left on the floor and the partner will find them. Why? To prevent action becomes instinctive and, in a real situation of stress, give a weapon to the attacker. is something that happened a few times. "
The key element is surprise. "Do not give option a response from the opponent, or allow it to use some contratécnica "says the instructor.
Not only the police or military use this set of techniques that are known as Krav Maga. In recent times, women who have been - or are in circumstances be- victims of domestic violence , taxi drivers or nurses may face, their personal circumstances in the case of the first, or for their work to real situations of violence, they are learning these techniques .
"The English police are very professional," said Vallejo, who, however, laments that the bodies elite women hardly exist . "When women demonstrate that police officers can face any real danger in the same conditions as their peers, there will be more female presence in the elite corps." And these self defense techniques can help it.
