IMMOBILIZATIONS FOR COMBAT APPLICATION
Dominate the close-quarter encounter through superior control.
A new advanced combatives module from TRICOM Training, in collaboration with instructor Samuel Chi Baker.
The problem Most close-quarter training stops at the strike. But in a real encounter against a larger, more aggressive, or more determined attacker, striking alone is not enough. The fights that end well are the ones where you control position first, deny the attacker their tools, and dictate what happens next.
That is what immobilization does. And done correctly, it is one of the most undertrained force-multipliers in the combatives world.
What this module delivers
Immobilizations for Combat Application gives you the framework to shut down an opponent's mobility, striking capability, and weapon access through the strategic application of:
- Stalls and pins
- Grabs, locks, and chokes
- Weapon-assisted controls
- Transitional dominance between positions
These methods are then layered with tactical striking, weapon deployment, and combative movement, so that every control position becomes a platform for your next decision.
Built for
- Law enforcement officers who need defensible, court-survivable subject control
- Military personnel operating across the use-of-force spectrum
- Executive protection professionals managing threats in close proximity
- Committed self-defense practitioners who refuse to be outsized or out-aggressed
