As a serving Metropolitan Police officer I am interested in anything which improves my safety and this book is very comprehensive in what it teaches techniques that with practice are very effective on a street level.I would recommend this book to any other police officers

Having read the synopsis and previous reviews I had expected to open up a book on controlling tactics used by law enforcement professionals based on aikido techniques. How wrong can you be.
The first 67 pages are what you expect in a general book on the subject of aikido. The 21 Tactics shown left me stunned.
No17 sums it up. You cannot use this defence where an attacker bearhugs from behind around your elbows.
We teach self defence and practice these types of attacks on both males & females. The suggested raising of the arms to break the grip as you step back is a joke. The attacker is usually right agianst your body and you cannot step back or raise your arms.
There are numerous successful ways of defending agianst this type of attack but this is not one to be recommended.
Overall I was disappointed with the content and feel I waisted my money.

The First half of the book is the same as hundreds of other aikido books, about the second half: the techniques are badly explained, and the pictures are not any help.

Not just for cops.
Don't let the title fool you. The techniques illustrated in "Secrets of Police Aikido" are shown in terms of a peace officer defending himself, but this book goes far... Read more

A great book on Aikido and controlling tactics!

Appeals to a broader audience than the title suggests.
The title of this very readable book is somewhat misleading. It is far more than just a review of tactics useful to the law enforcement community. Read more
