Jack Hibbard

Weaponless Defense: A Law Enforcement Gude to Non-Violent Control presents the most advanced, practical set of control and defense techniques yet devised for law enforcement officers. The weaponless control system described herein incorporates all the conventional jujitsu and karate wrist and armlock technques with an in-depth study of the nerve centers and pressure points in human structure. The methods of defense and control presented are easy to grasp and require no formal training in the martial arts.

Non-violent procedures for controlling situations which arise during the officer's average tour of duty, such as the domestic quarrel, the streetfight, a purse snatching, or a mugging, are discussed in detail. Advanced control and self-defense techniques are delineated in chapters covering the basic Precepts, Nerve Centers and Pressure Points, Control Techniques, Standard Search Porcedures, Handcuffing, Come-Alongs, Confrontation Control Techniques, Grappling Situations, assaults by Two Assailants, use of The Baton and Common Street Weapons. The book features profuse illustration, and many of the photographs demonstrating execution of the techniques are reinforced with close-up artwork to clarify essential points. The text itself is written with the utmost attention to clarity and readability, avoiding technical jargon.

In time of increased pubic pressure on the law enforcement officer to use restraint in dealing with criminal suspects and offenders, this manual provides him with the new tools of his trade. The emphasis of all the tehniques presented is restraint and control of a suspect or assailant without the use of excessive force and without undue risk to the officer's safety or the safety of the public. The authors have employed extensive legal research to provide guidelines for the use of the methods presented. The innovative techniques described in Weaponless Defense will also appeal to martial arts practitioners and to all those who wish to learn the art of self-defense.

Jack Hibbard holds the rank of Black Belt in both Korean Tae Kwon Do Karate and Japnese Jujitsu, and he has won trophies in the three categories of tournament competition: fighting, kata, and breaking. Mr. Hibbard's interest in the martial arts led him to join the U.S. Army Special Airborne Units. While serving in the Green Berets, he had the opportunity to observe masters of the martial arts from Southeast Asia and the Orient. He graduated from the Fort Bragg Special Warfare School and became a member of the SF Team A-11 which served as a demonstration team for the State Department, congressional officials and foreign dignitaries. On special assignment for the U.S. Government, Mr. Hibbard served as an instructor to Pakistan Commando Units. While directing operations in his own studio, a series of non-volent control methods were developed for the numerous law enforcement officers under his instruction. This weaponless control system, presented in this manual, has been incorporated into the official self-defense courses Jack Hibbard has designed for various law enforcement and security agencies.

Tkhe frst totlaly comprehansive guide to breaking

This is the first book solely devoted to the art and technique of breaking. The text, by an experienced karate instructor and former Green Beret, explains clearly and systematically how to break boards, bricks, and other objects, and discusses practical applications for self-defense. Over 500 outstanding photographs and sketches show the breaks themselves and how to execute them in a simple, step-by-step manner.

Of the three categories in karate (fighting, kata, and breaking), breaking alone remains constant in all styles. Thus, though students may fight and do kata differently in their respective schools, all can use this text to master breaking.

The author begins wth the basics and examines the three principles of speed, power, and penetration. He explains the importance of focus, conditioning the body, setting and holding objects for breaking, breath control, and many other vital aspects of the art. Hand, kicking, flying, and combination breaking techniques are discussed in detail. The book ends with instructions for impressive demonstration techniques.
