OFFICER STREET SURVIVAL

 

Alaskan Kempo is a martial system in the military sense of the word and became the backbone Battle Output to Input Paradigm (BOIP) that developed the officer street survival Battle Matrix Algorithm (BMA) for my Federal Marshal Combatives or what is recognized as Modern Police Jujitsu (MPJ) with the All-Japan Ju-Jitsu International Federation and later became the foundation to KEMPO TACTICS. Cmdr Cunningham has taught this close combat system to hundreds and hundreds of officers from federal, state, county, municipal, military, and tribal police agencies and organizations over his career. It is an extreme close combat system from A to Z. Hence, the name, for that is what it was designed for. 

The United States Marshals are the nation’s premier man-hunters. They arrested more fugitives per year than all the other federal agencies combined. With this territory means there were those who do not wish to come peacefully. Yes, that means they had to hunt them, find them, and put their hands on them to make an arrest. The majority came along compliantly when they saw "America's Star" staring at them as a "give up now because it gets real bad from here." Would you believe that there are those that choose to be non-compliant? For real, they are the violent ones who would rather bury police officers than come peacefully. Well, the "officer survival response" mandate to these true bad guys was Cmdr Cunningham's Federal Marshal Combatives Street Survival System™.

It was the Federal Marshal Combatives that kept me alive during my federal law enforcement career. Therefore, it works; I have proved it, used it, made it mine, and then shared it with other like-minded folks! Nothing more, nothing less!" -- Cmdr Ty "Yoda" Cunningham

Cmdr Cunningham is all about survival. Street proven methods to stop any threat force. If you do not have the skills to stop any threat no matter how violent, then you do not possess the proper skills to use lesser means such as 1st, defense avoidance, 2nd, defense escapes, 3rd, defense posturing, and lastly, defense verbalization. So, Cmdr Cunningham is concerned only with whether his officer students have the "survival mentality." He gets his students to this mentality through the body, mind, and spirit of a warrior. Thucydides, a historian during the Peloponnesian Wars stated that "One man is much the same as another and he is best who is trained in the severest school." Thus, Cunningham's mantra of "Train the way you survive."

A modern battle-driven street survival system was established officially in 1958 by Cmdr Cunningham's father, Cunningham sensei and his training partner, Stuart sensei, both instructors as legend in Alaska. It was a personal survival system like no other at the time. Cmdr  Cunningham, years later, upgraded the system based on his professions and put forward a program for soldiers, which he taught while he was in the U.S. Army. Later, as a deputy U.S. Marshal this gravitated to the new venue of the criminal element contained in the FEDERAL MARSHAL COMBATIVES PROGRAM. This System is now a training division of the World Street Combat Systems Organization (WSCSO), which is led by the police primary tool of the firearm with synchronized integration of all secondary tools: Baton, Taser, OC Spray; and tertiary weapons, duty knife, light, radio, environmental tools, etc.

From this early developed mandate stretching back to 1958, Cmdr Cunningham proffered this street survival system as the police system of Modern Police Jujitsu, which received recognition by the U.S. Marshals Service-District of Alaska in the early 1990's. He developed this new system off of his strategy of tool-based format contained in the "one combat method of any weapon," with a different mission essential task list that deputy marshals and officers must perform in accomplishing Officer Survival Response (OSR) when facing criminal violence. 

He received certification from the U.S. Marshal of the District of Alaska, who was appointed to this position by the President of the Unites States (POTUS). It was also, at that time, approved by the Alaska Police Standards Council (APSC) to be taught to all Alaska Law Enforcement Agencies wishing a "street survival response" for officer survival.

FEDERAL MARSHAL COMBATIVES (all tool synchronization at extreme close combat contact range) in this format was the first OFFICER STREET SURVIVAL SYSTEM developed and sanctioned with certification given in a U.S. Marshals District outside of the U.S. Marshals National Academy. Cmdr Cunningham was awarded the mantle of chief Instructor as a collateral duty and received the green light to train others in this new street survival system. This was a collaborative effort between Cmdr Cunningham's father, his Alaskan Kempo teacher, he being the external evaluator from the approved model and the UNITED STATES MARSHAL who agreed for the need of such a program. Cmdr Cunningham used the U.S. Marshals mat room as his area for all training as the US Marshals District of Alaska Police Dojo.

With his transfer in 2002 from the Alaska duty station, this program was taken over in Alaska by one of his students, Chief Deputy Marc Cameron (now, retired). Today, this U.S. Marshals Service program that he developed in Alaska has been deactivated. When Cmdr Cunningham transferred out of Alaska he continued to teach this system to those deputy marshals and other police officers intermittently until his retirement in 2012.
