Peacekeeper! Course for Enforcement, Security, and Responding Citizens
“It is not my intention to move in and replace existing police agency use-of-force and tactical programs. Not at all. Peacekeeper adds on moves and ideas, and reinforces good methods to existing police training programs with advanced applications and innovations in situational and positional problem-solving. I want to re-organize a physical-response system based on martial, police and military combat training statistics and probabilities, event-based, positional and situational scenarios. No single, response (like a bent arm) fits all situations, and martial arts cannot, should not be force-fit, squeezed into street survival. Even the U.S. Supreme Court recognizes how “fluid’ these situations can be.” -Hock
After over 3 decades of military and Texas law enforcement, Private Investigations, bodyguard /protection work (for clients such as NYC Mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani) and private investigation, and 50 years in the martial arts with multiple martial art black belts, W.

The Peacekeeper – Police Judo Modules:
An important outline/skeletal structure of these modules is the Stop 6 format. It is utilized throughout all training. The modules appear here in no special order. The Defender Training Modules and topics are designed to augment and add-on to the preexisting knowledge base of the average police academy and in-service school graduate and the experienced enforcement officer and agent.
