THIS EMOTIONALLY-CHARGED 'POLICE EYES ONLY' FILM DEALS DIRECTLY WITH THE PROBLEM OF EXTREMIST ATTACKS, ALERTING THE OFFICER TO TECHNIQUES THAT MAY BE USED AGAINST HIM AND OFFERING SUGGESTIONS ON SELF DEFENSE TECHNIQUES.
Abstract
SPECIAL EMPHASIS IS GIVEN TO SITUATIONS OF EXTREME AND UNEXPECTED DANGER. FOCUS IS ON AN EXPLORATION OF FIGHTING TECHNIQUES NECESSARY FOR THE SURVIVAL OF A SUDDEN DESPERATE PHYSICAL ATTACK. ATTACKERS WIELDING KNIVES, HOME-MADE FLAME-THROWERS, BOTTLED ACID, AND OTHER SINISTER WEAPONS ARE FEATURED. IT IS NOT THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM TO TEACH ACTUAL STREET FIGHTING; BUT RATHER TO EXPLORE THE THINKING OF THE ADVERSARIES THE OFFICER IS LIKELY TO ENCOUNTER IN SITUATIONS OF THIS TYPE AND TO POINT OUT THE KIND OF VIOLENCE THEY MIGHT PRACTICE AGAINST HIM. A FIRM UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLES OF BALANCE AND MOMENTUM IS PRESENTED, WITH APPLICATION TO THE INTELLIGENT AND PRACTICED USE OF 'PERSONAL' WEAPONS SUCH AS HANDS, FEET AND ELBOWS. AN INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDE IS INCLUDED. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
