Sitting Hook Restraint



Title – Sitting Hook Restraint
Date – November 2006

Simple restraint techniques are demonstrated by our instructors and then candidates are given the opportunity to practice and experience how it feels to be on the other side of them.

Simplicity is one of our watch words at Beyond The Blue. There is simply no point in trying to teach techniques to individuals over the period of a few hours, that take professionals years to perfect. They will simply not be learned and will give candidates a false sense of security.

Martial arts form the basis to many personal safety courses, the trainers have had a life time of practice and can demonstrate the techniques and make them look easy, but for the candidates attending the course they go home and two days later can’t remember the complicated instructions they were given.

Our instructors also have years of experience and have spent years perfecting the techniques we teach. The big difference is that by concentrating on the technique itself we develop them to be effective, easy to teach and easy to learn. Above all we concentrate on making them easy to remember, so that when you really need to use one it comes back to you as second nature.

There can be no doubt as to how effective the sitting hook restraint is in stopping someone from getting up out of a chair and potentially attacking your friends, colleagues or one of your customers. It can be taught in only a few minutes, practised in 10 and perfected in 15 to 20 minutes.

As part of our Physical Interventions course (PI) we select the techniques most relevant to the clients need.
