This seems a little odd to me. Alot of cops take martial arts simply because of their job. Why are they learning striking arts? As far as I know, a cop can't legally beat the crap out of someone their trying to arrest. Wouldn't it make more sense to focus on takedowns and holds rather than strikes? My point is: Why learn techniques that you can't use instead of the ones you can? (On a side note, some stations have karate classes for the police. Isn't that a striking art?)
