I'm going to my first one on the 20th.
What should I expect?
If he does the "no touch knockouts" there I'll be first in the uke line!Hopefully he will show some great prssure points and not that no touch knockout ********. I am sorry but when he does that be a volunteer and see if it works on you. Remember he does know pressure points and joint locks, should be agreat time.

...He (my instructor) wrote a paper for one of his black belt tests where he talked about pressure points... and how they only typically worked on passively resisting subjects...
That is simply incorrect. Pressure point techniques will work on a fully resisting opponent. They have worked on me many times in training when I've been attacking forcefully.

When you were attacking forcefully, were you going all out? Were you intentionally trying to hurt your opponent? Did you get an adrenaline dump into your system? Were you attacking in non pre-arranged manner? Were you under the influence of alcohol or other drugs at the time? Under non training conditions, those are common conditions an opponent will be in. Simple adrenaline can make most pain compliance techniques useless and then there are some people that simply have high pain threshholds. Other people respond differently to pain stimuli. What makes one person gasp and cry, makes another person bite and punch.
The Indiana Law Enforcement Academy and PPCT training courses disagree with the use of pressure points on actively resisting subjects unless multiple officers can restrain the subject prior to the use of PP control tactics. The use of pressure points is considered soft empty hands work, suitable to be used on passively resisting opponents as pain compliance techniques. The use of such points on an actively resisting subject is virtually impossible due to the control needed to properly apply said PP's. Even on passively resisting subjects, the success rate for the PP control tactics is low enough that most officers don't try to use them.
As always, YMMV
Well, the seminar was yesterday. I'll do a full review of it tomorrow in my blog. For now, let it suffice to say it's an area of martial training I won't be pursuing.
