I wasn't aware of what cdt was, unfortunately I found no video but had a read of the site.
And just what i've read so far I don't get a good feeling about it.
"CDT is a soft-handed control/restraint system comprised of the most effective non-vital, non-aggressive techniques that can effectively control, escort or disarm an aggressor."
No.. stuff like they are talking about can work if somebody is pretty compliant. But somebody really wanting to hurt you, using 'non vital, non aggressive techniques' is going to get you hurt. Especially by yourself. There is a reason security usually works in teams, people complain "oh there was 6 of you onto that guy" but they don't realize the more of you there is the less force you need and you can more likely do the restraint and control stuff.
Yes i've restrained some people by myself, but when it really comes to it you need to do something aggressive and decisive to put them down, not a gentle armlock kind of thing.
Anyway, I think this proves i'm missing my training as the guy I was teaching stopped, i've put flyers up but haven't found anyone else yet.
Anyway sounds like you may have experience in this area Sean? What have you done?
