Like I usually do, I would like to preface this question with the following statement: I have very little clue of what I am talking about here. I am asking because I want to know...
As far as traditional grappling arts go... Do any of them have any applicability in the field of Law Enforcement?
I know its a very broad question. But take for example: Aikido. Several years back, Aikido was growing somewhat in popularity around here. Law enforcement agencies were learning Aikido as part of their defensive tactics programs and as a way to subdue criminals while on the street.
This seems to have decayed. Why is that? Is Aikido just not practical in the field of law enforcement? Is there perhaps another art that would suffice?
