Unarmed Self Defense Techniques
Why aren't cops better trained in self defense techniques?
I have watched many police videos, and have seen several cops almost overpowered by suspects and an officer attacked and shot dead with his own gun. Granted, cops have MACE/pepper spray, batons, handguns, blackjacks, etc. But they cannot just shoot a suspect if they are unarmed. The officers have to subdue them hand to hand.
After seeing many martial arts classes in kung fu san soo, Krav Maga, Gracie style and other fighting methods, they are more than capable of using holds, arm locks, etc. to disable attackers with guns knives and physical strength of an opponent. I saw a video of the late Master Jimmy Woo who was attcked full force by guys bigger and tougher than he was, but he put them all down. Why aren't cops capable of disabling a powerful suspect with a matial art technique? Why aren't they trained better to disable an aggressive attacker? Sometimes it takes 2-4 officers to handle a rough neck. Any cops care to comment? Be careful and watch yourselves from bad elements.
I work as a Corrections Officer in a maximun security prison. I have ten years of martial arts training that includes Gracie style ju jitsu. It's ignorant to assume that martial arts training FULLY prepares you for a real fight. Only real fights prepare you for real fights, because not everything happens the way you train for it, and that situation is one that officers want to avoid.
Having trained for so long, I would say I might be better prepared than some. As law enforcement officers, you often have to think about the appropriate use of force. Anyone knows that hesitation in dire straights leads to bad things, but our jobs could be on the chopping block as well as our lives. We cannot simply block the attack and break an arm with a hold. We have to JUSTIFY the force used. Lawsuits bad.
Plus, it's expensive to put an entire force through regimented tactical martial arts training. A sad but true fact that budget enters into the equation.
I, personally, have never been in or seen a demonstration where people were attacking "full force" and being defended as such. I would like to see if Tito Ortiz could defend himself against 4 armed men.

Unarmed combat training?
Hi! I was wondering how I could learn unarmed combat skills. Essentially military training, just without the military. Things like disarms, submissions, take-downs, etc. All the techniques I want to learn and practice are already laid out, all I need is a way to practice them. So my question is: What is the best way to practice these moves? Do karate studios offer a simple sparring program? Should I get a grappling dummy? In other words: What's the mot efficient way to practice military grade combat techniques?
(No, I don't want to attend civilian "classes". I don't want to learn competition techniques for controlled environments. I'm looking for a no-nonsense way to practice self-defense maneuvers if every caught in a do-or-die situation. No, I don't want to go out a kill someone. Purely self-defense.)
Please spare the "you're so stupid" comments. If you can't help me, please don't comment.
You're awesome for reading and thanks in advance!
Go to martial arts studios and ask. I work out about once a week with a kali instructor. But it's sparring... and we pull our punches. Were either of us to make solid contact, the other one could easily be injured... even wearing pads.
But you're going to learn technique, and control. And you're going to practice until you get it right. And, unless the instructor's a complete moron, you're not going to practice full contact.
Oh, and you're probably going to have to learn program they teach. I don't think anybody comes in with a program and says, "This is the way I want to be taught." So, if you want to learn the military way... I'm afraid you're probably going to have to join the military... or maybe get into a police academy.
