Introduction...

[MPD455]

I am a law enforcment officer currently employed with the Monroe Police Department. I don't have any martial arts experience and I am eager learn a form that would help me in my career. I am interested in a form that is more based on take downs, disarming and grappling. I'm looking for suggestions as to what form I should move toward and a good local location to study. A friend of mine advised that American Kempo would be a good form to study but I don't really know anything about it. Monroe is located approximately 20-30 minutes southeast of Charlotte, NC. Any advise as to what form would be best and local locations to study would be appreciated.

And if you can find it, Police/Military Sanshou might work.

But of course there are other style s that could help you as well, HKD, Aikido, Shuaijiao, Jujitsu, possibly even Systema.
