LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING

TAG Muay Thai Founder & Head Instructor Chris Aboy has personally trained numerous law enforcement officers, special agents and U.S. military personnel. As a high-profile law enforcement officer for the federal government and a subject matter expert (SME) in hand-to-hand combat, Chris understands what today’s law enforcement officers need to protect themselves and the citizens in their communities safe.

Police and detective work can be physically demanding, stressful and dangerous. Police officers have one of the highest rates of injuries and illnesses of all occupations.

We all live in an unpredictable world with emotionally unstable people. Police officers and other protective services officers often put themselves in more dangerous situations than the average civilian due to the nature of the work they perform. The ability to protect and serve civilians confidently while maintaining self-protection is vital to public safety.

ADVISING, CONSULTING & TRAINING FOR SPECIALIZED LAW ENFORCEMENT UNITS

Law enforcement officers are constantly on high alert and must be prepared to take immediate action in the event of an emergency. Yet most officers don’t get regular practice in hand-to-hand combat, takedown techniques and other important maneuvers. At the request of several specialized law enforcement units within the federal government, Chris Aboy offers customized training to specialized units.

Because Chris has been a federal law enforcement officer himself since 2002, he knows firsthand the skills that federal law enforcement officers need and the scenario they can encounter at any moment. Chris has professionally instructed at a federal police academy for over 5 years of his career while running his own martial arts gym. That is his passion; it’s what he loves to do.

He has guided over 100 law enforcement recruit classes from start to finish, guiding thousands of officers as they strengthened their expertise in specific techniques, and confidence of performing on the job.

This is not a certification course, it’s an open dialogue training class addressing multiple options on handling one’s specific working environment. There is no perfect way to handle a problem, especially, with an evolving behavior of the “bad guy”, our tactics need to change to stay ahead to be safe, effective and reasonable.

The tailored training that Chris provides to specialized units helps officers do the following:

‍

Practice and perfect maneuvers, arrest techniques and patrol positions in a realistic setting that simulates actual law enforcement scenarios.
Have a trained instructor identify areas where they need improvement.
Practice using their gear (batons, shields, helmets) effectively and safely.
Become more effective in combat survival specific to gun carriers.
Build quicker reflexes and better judgment of dangerous situations.
Build confidence over time to make better decisions when confronted with suspects.
Potentially reduce liability for the officer and his or her agency.
Be more aware of your limitation and abilities in certain situations and realistic scenarios.
