Police Kung Fu: The Personal Combat Handbook of the Taiwan National Police is a comprehensive approach to the realistic use of the array of techniques of traditional kung fu by law enforcement and corrections officers-and ordinary citizens-to maximize personal safety while minimizing the necessary use of force. Lavishly illustrated the photographs of Taiwanese police officers systematically demonstrating tactics that have been used with great effect for several decades in Taiwan, Police Kung Fu teaches responses to unarmed attackers and to attacks with guns, knives, and assorted clubs and other weapons, as well as police baton technques for individual and crowd control. With a thorough grounding in traditional Wling Chun kung fu, renowned for its direct power and speed, the training demonstrated in this volume is readily adaptable to a wide varieaty of controlled-force situations. Police Kung Fu is a great resource of every law enforcemnet professional and serious martial artist.
