An exhausting day today…out of the classroom and into the gym. Today we practiced compliant and non-compliant escorts, front and rear wristlocks, handcuffing compliant inmates both standing and kneeling, high, medium and low blocks, palm heel strikes, knee strikes, edge-fist, horizontal forearm blocks, outside blocks, middle blocks, shin rake kick, front kicks and other techniques. My wrists are all black and blue from handcuffing practice and we finished this most delightful day by a nine-station course where we used each technique for fifteen seconds without stopping and then ran to the next station.
Tomorrow we get pepper sprayed. Many people here who have experienced firsthand tell me that they would rather be tasered than go through pepper spray again. The plan is to get sprayed, then you will be escorted by someone to an “inmate” where you will perform a compliant handcuffing action on them. This is all before the pepper spray is rinsed out of your eyes. Should be a lot of fun.
