Fundamentals of Tethering an Opponent |
||
|
INSTRUCTOR:
Maestro James
Loriega
ROOM: TBA |

|
DESCRIPTION:
An old
adage warns us against “Catching a Tiger by the Tail” because,
then, how do we let him go? This metaphor can be an actual
problem when you have bested an opponent on the field of
battle but can neither allow him to recover nor end his
life. The answer to this in both Eastern and Western martial
cultures has been to handcuff, tie-up, or otherwise restrain
the subject. In recent Western literature, W.E. Fairbairn,
Rex Applegate, and others in the field of Military Combatives
have addressed this in their tactical curricula, as did
ancient Chinese and Japanese warriors.
The
instructional objective of this workshop is to provide
participants with a practical understanding of how to restrain
an enemy or prisoner in a methodical, secure, and
field-expedient manner. The techniques will be drawn from
modern Western methods, as well as from Eastern sources, such
as Japanese Hojojutsu.
NOTE: Participants
will each require a 50-ft length of parachute cord,
available20in pre-measured bundles from hardware, military
surplus, or mountaineering stores. (White cord is preferred
over olive drab or other colors.) A small knife is also
necessary for cutting lengths, as well as a lighter or matches
for sealing the ends.
