2-on-1 Subject Restraint | Championed by Gunji Taiho Jutsu Since 2019 called PAT for Partner Arrest Technique
In October 2016, Total Air Force Combatives - Striking - Grappling - Weaponry Arts was published as my first attempt at developing a Combatives manual for the United States Air Force. At that time, I was stationed at MacDill AFB in Tampa, Florida, and Security Forces were seeking techniques specifically for arresting. By June 2019, Gunji Taiho Jutsu, a system of arresting techniques for Security Forces and Law Enforcement, was introduced with a full manual, video curriculum, and online instructor training course available at www.GunjiUniversity.com.
At www.gunjiuniversity.com, in weeks 11 and 13, the written manual, video instructionals, and curriculums cover Partner Arrest Techniques, known as PAT strategies in Gunji Taiho Jutsu. In week 11, members are taught how to cooperate in a two-on-one arresting situation, emphasizing safety for all parties involved under the PCS 3 concept. In week 12, leg control for PAT strategies, including arm-leg lacing and figure-four holds, is covered. In week 13, the curriculum explores how security forces and officers work together for restraint and control in a path to handcuffing.
All of this is written in our attempt to show that the two-on-one assisted arresting technique is and has already been in the industry and marketplace. Methodologies such as PAT strategies championed by Gunji Taiho Jutsu and Gunji Taiho Jutsu's PCS 3 concepts, which are elements of Pinning, Communication, and Safety for all parties involved, are guiding principles and strategies of our system, are also used and have been taught in the industry since 2016 and refined by 2019.
It should be noted that PAT can stand for Partner Arrest Technique or Partner Assisted Technique as they are used interchangeably.
