WHAT IS MODERN POLICE JUJITSUs

FEDERAL MARSHAL COMBATIVES

Modern Police Jujitsu (MPJJ)/Federal Marshal Combatives (FMC) is a system of Extreme Close Combat Contact (EC-3) Street Survival System (S3) whereas a police officer or citizen may defeat a violent assailant based on the Officer-Suspect Dynamic (OSD) application who poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm.

​

The term "Strategic Flexibility" comes from the way of strategy of the Nin'i no Buki no Ichi Sento Ryu (One Combat School of Any Weapon).  Indeed, the utility of Jujitsu was for providing a close combat skill-set for the Ancient Samurai as a means to "continue the fight" at a range where man-made battlefield weapons were ineffective, neutralized, or even seized and used against the Samurai who would then be left unarmed with only natural weapons. 

​

This is what made jujitsu so devastating at EC-3 range on the battlefield, because the Samurai could either maintain body contact with their enemy manipulating their enemy to a position of disadvantage thereby creating angles to again employ their man-made weapons or to break contact thus freeing their man-made weapons for reemployment during their counterattack. 

​

Kempo and Jujutsu, old style, was never meant to be a combative sport. This is what the SDH perpetuates today. THE OLD WAYS STILL WORK! Society today has dramatized Jujitsu (or Jiu-Jitsu from BJJ sport fame) as a strictly unarmed way of fighting someone else who is unarmed.

 

This is not accurate!

 

Jujitsu was developed in a world of employing man-made weapons for a purpose in battle when they were extremely close to the enemy. Like Modern Army Combatives is today. Therefore, Federal Marshal Combatives was developed based on the principles and concepts which are the battle foundations of this extreme close combat system employing both natural and man-made weapons as a synchronized integration system.  Therefore, the police officer or citizen can blend effectively with the combative behavior presented to them by a fugitive, suspect, prisoner, or assailant in such a way as to use the threat's force and the momentum they create to stop them from killing or physically harming them. Hence, the Federal Marshal EC-3 Combatives motto of "Right Weapon, Right Target, Right Time."

​

The Federal Marshal EC-3 Combatives establishes again the principle of blending opposites in nature's order to maximize survivability: When pressured, yield.  When yielding, pressure.  The Federal Marshal EC-3 Combatives encompasses "all weapons availability" for Officer Survival Response (OSR) and Citizen Survival Response (CSR) based on a sound Force Continuum. It follows the truth in the way of strategy with the best tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for the conditioning maxim, "Train the Way you Survive!"

​

Federal Marshal EC-3 Combatives, because of its use in survivability when facing death or serious bodily harm, relies upon "any weapon and any TTP," some of which are similar to those found in other Martial arts; like, Hojutsu (Gunnery Skills), Taihojutsu (Arrest Skills), and Goshinjutsu (Self-Defense Skills).  The strategy, TTP's, and foundational background of the Federal Marshal Combatives are:
