I have been a deputy sheriff for 26 years and have worked at different levels, corrections, patrol and detective bureau and have attended numerous training seminars and schools including in-service training involving the use of physical force and deadly force encounters. I met Fred Crivello through my wife who is a police officer and had attended one of his classes and was very impressed. So I decided to check it out for myself. I was impressed with Mr. Crivello's simplistic approach to physical encounters. No involved "moves" to remember, just a simple theory of getting the suspect opponent off-balanced, capturing limbs and face down pins for hand cuffing, which for law enforcement is the key. I have been a student for 2 years and can tell you this method works and Mr. Crivello is an outstanding instructor. In all of my years in law enforcement this is by far the best method for physical encounters I have ever been exposed to.
