by Gene Lebell. Available through http://www.genelebell.com covering grappling
techniques with a straight baton with overlaping for the PR-24. Fourteen chapters with cartoon like illustrations cover this large 318 pg book on non-lethal club grappling techniques.
Blocks, grips, stances, vital points cover the first 3 chapters. The slap and catch method, go behinds with the club,comealongs, takedowns, wrist/elbow/shoulder holds, leg and neck locks, chokes, hold downs make up the majority of the text. A section on controlling violent suspects takes up the last three chapters, controlling a suspect from cars or motorcycles on the ground.
The last chapter focuses on the use of the hood restraint.
This book combines elements of US military baton techniques, grappling techiques from BJJ, and compliance techniques from officer defensive tactics. There is slight reference to knife wielding suspects and drugged
individuals. Marketed for LEO personnel, some of the techniques are best for those already trained in combatives or grappling martial arts. With this in mind, some DT personnel might not like this book particularly those who hated the Monadnock PR-24 manual. Pistol retention is not covered here as well.
Also available from Amazon.com, I ordered directly from LeBell's site via Noelle LeBell and got a free t shirt. I've been told that Amazon will take 4 weeks, I received my copy in 24 days.
BTW, the instructional tapes are in production.
