Taken from Day 3 of our 2019 Restraint and Control Camp with Mike Malpass, he we learn how to use the arm lockdown (a.k.a. Forearm Weave) to control a subject. The lockdown is a primary ripping technique for removing a subject's grip from prison cell bars, door frames, steering wheels, etc. It provides strong control of the close arm, significant potential for pain compliance and because it compresses the arm, it removes the bulk of the laxity and escape potential from the subject. In this clip, we see how to shift the subject's weight to provide a safe transition to ground control for cuffing and restraint.
The vulnerability of the lockdown is the freedom of the subject's second arm. Please not that for instructional purporse my head is away from the subject but that in application, the officer's head should be driving into the subject's face or else tucked behind their shoulder.
