Side Control escapes
Bridge/shrimp
Wrestle up
Top Guard - Suspect has open guard
Stand and:
- Pass to KOT
- Pass to leg/knee staple position
- Disengage
(3 options)
Top Guard - Suspect closes guard
Strike until guard opens, then disengage
Cooperative Handcuffing - Main points
- Turn around. Feet together. Hands behind back, knuckles together
- Grab top two fingers (or all fingers if your hands big enough) + grab sus R trap, “Don’t move”
- RH gets out cuffs
- Cuff sus RH first (ideally)
- Use your RH fingers to finish strand swings if needed (priority is maintaining control with your LH)
Kneeling handcuffing - main difference
Prone handcuffing - main difference
Cross your feet at ankles (left foot over right)
Shirt lift. Hands behind back (then back mount + double shelf)
KOT - Standard hand positioning?
2-on-1 suspect’s near arm tricep, push his near arm over his face
KOT - If suspect hides near side arm (so can’t 2-on-1 it)
Head pressure with my LH (or both hands) until he reaches for my LH with his near arm
- Now his near arm is available so I can go 2-On-1 his (near) tricep
- Now push his near arm over/across his face (standard position)
KOT - Cooperative Roll
- Roll him over by pushing 2-On-1 his near side (R) arm + knee drive
- Once to KOT (back), my LH to his head, give commands
KOT - Suspect reaches towards me with his far hand/arm
(Could occur if don’t have solid standard KOT position ie 2-on-1 on near side with him slightly rolled away)
- My RH pins his L wrist, my LH pins his head, sprawl out
- Circle around, now his L tricep is exposed (since he is on his R side), go 2-on-1 on it
- Continue to roll him over via knee dive with my L knee (like cooperative roll)
KOT - Suspect starts to roll TOWARDS me
- Push off my LF
- Windshield Wiper
- Sprawl + Walk around
- My RH pins his L wrist, my LH pins his head, sprawl out
- Circle around, now his L tricep is exposed (since he is on his R side), go 2-on-1 on it
- Continue to roll him over via knee dive with my L knee (like cooperative roll)
KOT - Suspect starts to roll AWAY from me
- Just roll him over like cooperative roll
(Note for sport/advanced: Back ride w/ R shin and hook with LF)
Also could Side Leg Staple if necessary
KOT - Suspect still has a lot of energy and will probably try to stand up once rolled onto stomach. Should you roll him over anyway to get him into cuffs faster?
NO!!!
Don’t be in a rush to roll if he’s uncooperative. Ideally use pressure for 90-100 seconds to gain compliance if possible, or at least exhaust him so he’s too tired to resist once rolled over
KOT - Uncooperative Roll
- Two-On-One near side arm+ push across his face
- Gift wrap that arm with my LH (EFC calls arm wrap)
- My RH grabs pants at knee or whizzers
- Knee drive (in the upper portion of his back)
- Ends in KOT (back), both my hands on his head
Note: His far arm can’t really stop the roll, if he posts it out
Alternate position to KOT
Side Leg Staple
(ie large suspect, Ofc having difficult time controlling his hips with KOT)
Side Leg staple
If suspect does pushup
If suspect rolls away
Arm extract
Go to low mount
KOLB
Standard hand position - Cooperative
Standard hand position - Uncooperative
My LH on his head, my R hand on his R tricep (ready to catch)
Both hands to head if uncooperative
KOLB - Becomes cooperative
From standard KOT (back) position (my LH on his head, my RH on R tricep):
- Give commands for him to put his arms behind his back (be ready to catch his R wrist, as they usually give R arm first)
- Then just extract other arm. If he resists, shelf the first arm and do lateral head displace extraction
KOLB - Suspect hiding hands / arms tucked
Lateral Head Displace
-Start @ LH on Sus head, RH on Sus R tricep (standard KOT-back position)
- Use L wrist/forearm to drive head away/UP + momentary step up with my L foot
- My RH grabs their far wrist/hand
- Put head back DOWN
- Turn their hand to flare elbow, then SHELF
- Then extract opposite arm (if resists, see back mount arm extract)
Back mount - Suspect hiding hands / arms tucked
NOTE: Only go to back mount unless one arm shelved (or if advanced student with hooks + back control knowledge)
- Back of my L elbow to R side of sus face, laterally displace it to the left. Should cause sus R elbow to be exposed
- Grab his right wrist with my R hand
- Put his head back down with my LH
- Turn their flare to flare elbow, bring behind, shelf HIGH and put my chest down on his R arm
- Now use R elbow to displace (to the right), same procedure but with LH
KOLB - Suspect starts doing pushup
Arm extract.
- From standard KOBack position (LH to head, RH to R tricep).
- When pushup, go under armpit to pinky, turn his hand out.
- Bring it back (might need to briefly move my knee back out of the way)
- Replace my knee on top of his forearm just below wrist
(Can also grab wrist if pinky unavailable)
KOLB - Suspect starts to build house
Staple + Ankle Pick
- Staple his near calf with my RK
- Grabs his ankle with my RH
- Tight waist grip. My L pec pushes his butt to drive him back down
- If he pushes up with near arm: Extract then go to KOBack
- If he doesn’t: Return to KOBack still holding his R ankle with my RH, my LH goes to head pressure
Alternate: My LH can chop his near arm at elbow
Alternate Position for KOLB
Go to Low Mount
(ie large suspect and Ofc is having trouble controlling sus hips with KOLB)
Low Mount
Does pushup
Arms tucked
Arm extract (each of my hands should be on each tricep, ready)
Head Displace
- My LH grabs top of his head (my palm facing me), pulls his head to his L shoulder
- My RH pushes his R tricep/elbow forward
- Once elbow gap exposed, arm extract, shelf
Solo Officer - Suspect stomach to wall
Solo Officer - Suspect back to wall
Arm extract (like from low mount) or RBLTD
2-on-1 (might have to arm drag) or Shoulder Crunch
What is the ideal take down for a solo Officer?
Body Lock takedowns
(best/easiest variation = Rear Body Lock Takedown)
Rear Body Lock takedown - how to do?
- Ear to his back, L arm DEEP
- Gable grip on far hip
- Crimp sus hips inwards by pulling in with my elbows + tilting him backwards
- Step back with my RF
Note: Can also drive suspect forward or sideways, causing him to base / push back
Alternate variation: Sit-them-down (instead of RF step back)
Takedown used when gained underhook
Duck under to Rear Body Lock
Takedown procedure when you’ve grabbed Suspect’s L arm with your R hand
Arm drag to Rear Body Lock
Takedown procedure when you’ve grabbed Suspect’s L arm with your L hand
2-on-1 to Rear Body Lock
Takedown(s) used if suspect punching
Bodylock from (direct) front
- Crash to bicep control
- Wrap arms behind suspect; Gable grip at small of suspect’s back
- Push my ear (either) to chest while crimp’ing, causing Suspect to go backwards
- Go to KOT
If get underhook (Inside Head Control position) after crash:
- No whizzer: Duck Under to Rear Body Lock
- Whizzer: Side body lock (my head inside with ear to chest, my gable grip on opposite hip, crimp inwards with my gable grip + tilt suspect backwards with my head)
If an Officer does a 2-on-1 takedown SOLO, what are the goals?
- Get suspect’s far arm to ground
- Base breakdown position to KOLB (or KOLB if he immediately goes flat)
Multiple Officer Takedown - High Officer job
2-on-1 suspect’s near arm, drive suspect face down
(note, if suspect pulls him arms in = Wrist weave)
Multiple Officer Takedown - Low Officer job
- Gable grip above suspect’s knees, Officer’s head behind Suspect’s legs (R trap to near lag)
- Crimp inwards (bring my elbows to ribcage)
Multiple Officer Takedown - If suspect bases
- Low Officer gets behind
- Grabs Sus above ankles
- Pushes Sus forward (Ofc R shoulder to Sus butt)
Multiple Officer Post- Takedown Duties
High
Low
3rd
High - KOT/KOLB/Back Mount, arm extracts (head control if no 3rd)
Low - Bear hug heavy or go to Figure-4 (also can head control if not kicking / attempting to stand)
3rd - Head control also can do lateral head displace for hidden arms by moving sus head)
Bear Hug Leg Control
Bottom arm on sus quads just above sus knees
Gable grip
Near shoulder to hamstrings
Head on far side
Tripod up
Figure-Four Leg Control
From bear hug, assuming I have been bear hugging with my L trap down
- My far (R arm) backstrokes swims up/out, goes under near leg, then over far leg, grabs far shin (from the outside)
- My RH lifts that shin (causing the other foot to come up too) then POST my R foot on the far side (on sole of foot) so his R shoelace on my R quad to block
- Press his L foot down in his R knee pit, place my R shin on top of the outside of his L foot (my RF live toes)
- Now can push his R foot over/down to the left (his L shoelace ends on the outside of my L hip)
Multiple Officer - Suspect’s back against wall
Multiple Officer - Suspect’s stomach against wall
Shoulder crunch
Arm extract

Suspect w/ pistol out (arms length)
Are doing gun-takeaways (disarms) generally recommended?
Best time to draw your own weapon in this case?
What is the optimal solution to this, assuming gun still low?
No (it’s better to control/pin their gun and get to a position where you can use your own)
When the suspect is on the ground (and their gun is pinned)
Assuming their gun still low:
- Immediately grab at barrel my L hand and pin
- Get to their L side, my RA wraps around back and grabs far forearm (IHC - Trapped Arm)
- Trapped Arm (side) BLTD
- Once suspect is on ground (LH still pinning), draw own weapon
Suspect w/ pistol out. Gun still low
How to disarm?
