For the person involved with law enforcement, military or security/bodyguard work, I offer private training to:

1. 1.Enhance the practitioners understanding of controlling an assailant, lethal and non-lethal techniques (i.e., come-alongs, joint manipulation, chokes).
   

2. 2.Understand body angulations and use of footwork to set up and maximize techniques, while simultaneously minimizing the strength and effect of a perpetrator.
   

3. 3.Understand weapons defense and use (i.e., club/nightstick, knife, firearms).
   

1. ✦ Law Enforcement/Bodyguard
   

Understanding how to affect the balance with the least effort and maintaining a calm open awareness of the surroundings is paramount to effectively controlling a potential dangerous situation, especially when it involves protecting another. Focus is on how to increase the potential effectiveness of techniques, and to understand how reasonable force can easily become excessive in the heat of the moment.

Psychological training contains one-point meditation and visualization, which basically involve detaching the personal-self from the job and how to control the emotions to remain calm and clear headed. It also teaches how to assess your surroundings quicker and how to deal in crowds or with multiple opponents.

1. ✦ Military Personnel
   

For Military Personnel, training will focus on developing stamina control, peripheral awareness of your environment, efficient body movement, body posturing & their relationship to mental states, threat awareness, improvised weapons training, CQC training (with and without weapons/standing and ground situations), etc.

Psychological training contains one-point meditation and visualization, which basically involve detaching the personal-self from the job and how to control the emotions to remain calm and clear headed. Aspects of the ancient Chinese art of Tu Na - deep breathing training - are also explored to increase oxygen intake and increase blood flow, while maintaining a relaxed heart and mind. This is particularly important in high stress situations.

Pain management is also explored.

This training has been developed through many years of experience training with and instructing various Government agents and members of Jericho Defense Corporation.

Instruction can be conducted in private lessons or in small groups at the Phoenix Martial Arts Center in Norristown or Philadelphia, PA or at your location.

All Law Enforcement Personnel receive a discount on Taijiquan group classes.
