Something to note.
My sister graduated from a state police training academy and at the time had plenty of advanced training in defensive tactics for law enforcement.
For fun one day she asked me to “fight” her. Basically grapple. I had only ever been in scuffles in my life at the time. I never wrestled in high school and knew no martial arts. I outweighed her by nearly 100 lbs and was a regular at the weight room was all the training I had.
I was able to subdue her less than 8 seconds and probably less than 5 after first contact. She was not surprised by the outcome. She had sparred with men in training and knew of the physical power imbalance. In a life or death situation where she was disarmed, she would be going for the throat, eyes, or groin and still would likely lose. That is why police have force equalizers in the form of batons, tasers, pepper spray, and firearms.
Years later, I too graduated from an LE academy after having been in the military and been through the Army Combatives program as well as some other hand to hand combat training. She really wouldn’t stand a chance now.
