The complete instructor reference for baton and impact weapon training - covering every common law enforcement impact weapon platform under one cover, structured for the way certified instructors actually run a class.

Inside:

  • The Mid-Range Straight Baton - draws, ready positions, swinging mechanics, and the full strike inventory: jab, yawara, elbow, power chop, crescent, roll-over, and spear strikes; combinations, retentions, blocks, and kata
  • The Side-Handle Baton (PR-24) - ready positions, strikes, retentions, blocks, and kata
  • The Expandable Baton (ASP) - deployment, strikes, retentions, and blocks
  • The Short Baton (Billy) and the Long Baton - platform-specific strikes, retentions, blocks, and kata
  • The Yawara Stick (Kubaton) - ready position and kata
  • Personal body weapons and blocks with personal weapons
  • The Corded Double Baton (Orcutt Police Nunchaku / OPN)
  • Target areas, four strike zones, and footwork - the foundation that ties every weapon platform together
  • Officer-safety topics - drug-induced psychosis / excited delirium and positional asphyxia
  • Types of impact weapon markings - linear contusions, centralized hemorrhaging, edge healing patterns, and what they reveal for documentation, photography, and report-writing
  • Glossary of impact-weapon and use-of-force terminology

Also included: the legal framework (Graham v. Connor; California Penal Code 835a / AB 392; Penal Code 22210 classifying impact weapons as deadly weapons); chapters on liability, use-of-force reporting, medical attention, and photographing injuries; the Crawl-Walk-Run teaching model; and a seven-tier drill progression from technique introduction through stress inoculation and evaluation.
