Iron Arahat Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 I really would like to see what you guy's think about the following: Law Enforcement Instructorship Program. (Name Deleted) has developed one of the most respected programs in the country for teaching law enforcement officers. Currently over 50 police departments in the (country deleted) have adopted this program. We are now offering personal training programs to civilians on how to teach this exact program from A to Z. Graduates from this course will learn not only the specific curriculum, but also how to get your foot in the door of your local police department, and the appropriate way to present the program (accompanied by your official instructorship certificate). This is a 12-hour program, completed over two days. The fee is $2,000.00; and can be split among four participants. ($500.00 per person) . I'd like to know what you guy's think of being an instructor after two days.

thaiboxerken Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Sounds like SCARS or Krav Maga to me. More marketing hype. Just because a person sells his system to law enforcement agencies or the military doesn't mean it's the most or even a remotely effective system. Now to become and "instructor" in 12 hours is just plain silly. Maybe if you've had previous training in the system and are attending a seminar to get this, it would hold some ground. But I think this type of program really shows how ignorant the general population of the USA is when it comes to fighting.

Iron Arahat Posted August 25, 2001 Author Share Posted August 25, 2001 It's actually not Krav Maga or SCARS, but even with other experience personally I wonder what makes people think that law enforcement agencies are looking for civilians in this capacity...

Joecooke007 Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 I do not believe that someone should be an instructor after twelve hours of lessons. Things like that take time and experience. Boards don't hit back. -Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 12 hours he must be a really fast learner or something like that i don`t think i could do that in less it is a cheap way when you do your best it`s going to show.

SaiFightsMS Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 So what are the previous knowledge and training requirements of the participants? Are these Joe blo walk in the doors or people all ready trained and rated in a viable martial form? This brings to mind the settings of some karate schools in post war Japan. There was and explosian of GI's wanting classes and a shortage of teachers. So a few would go to a class in the daytime and at night teach what they had just learned to their own students under the guise of "sensei".

Iron Arahat Posted November 29, 2001 Author Share Posted November 29, 2001 There were no prior requirements noted at all. I have to say that first off it's scary what people will market as a "quailty program". Secondly, I can't believe that anyone can truely understand what would or would not benefit a law enforment officer if they have never done the job, let alone what would be permitted and legally justified.

SaiFightsMS Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 That my friends is scary. I would think a truly quality program would not only require prior training but would be tailored to fit the legal system of the area of the officers being trained.
