Surviving the Ground Fight: Half Guard

Course Hours: 8.0 Hours

Course Description

This is part of a series that continues from the initial 24.0 hour Surviving the Ground Fight course. This portion breaks down common grappling positions and highlights effective control techniques for law enforcement officers that may find themselves in a ground fight situation.
