About this title

About the Author

Loren Christensen was still a rookie on probation when his police agency recruited him to teach defensive tactics to new officers hired just a few months after him. Since then, he has trained countless police academies, in-s¬¬ervice officers, transient system authorities, security agents, hotel security personnel, mental health nurses, and criminal justice students. Loren began his martial arts journey in 1965 and over the decades of continuous study has earned 10 black belts in three fighting arts: 7th-degree black belt karate, 2nd-degree black belt jujitsu, and 1st-degree black belt arnis. He borrows from these disciplines as well as other fighting arts to show you how to make your restraint, control and self-defense tactics more effective, more painful, safer for you and safer for the suspect.
