What did you learn so far from Rent-a-cop school?

Mostly legal stuff. An Australian security guard has no more rights than the average citizen, but he knows the law better. You learn some good people skills. And you learn the laws you must invoke when reasonable force is needed.

So when it comes to it, a security guard knows how to use the law to defend himself, others and a client's public property, just as an average citizen is able to. It's just a matter of knowing the right laws and wording. 'I used reasonable force to defend myself' is acceptable. 'Awwwww mate, I just smacked him a couple time in the face cos he wouldn't back down' isn't. Even if it's describing the same actions.

An open palm to the ribs can drop most people, as can striking certain parts of the leg which can cause a spasm. These also tend to do minimal damage while still disarming an aggressor. A wristlock can bring even the strongest of people to a halt, though for some reason it didn't seem to work on me.
Flexible wrists mayhaps?

There's just some techniques that are used, and the law is better known.

Ah, pressure points and knocking the wind out of the, eh Celt?

Wrist locks don't work on me either. Never did, usually I can reverse them with a simple twist. Taking people down without much force is justifiable with just about anything. It's great for things like Capture the Flag real life games, when the captives won't stay put. No hitting, but forcing them to the ground is allowed. It's been a long time since camp, lol.


How many more Security Guard classes do you need to take?

As I said, before, your lucky. Rent-a-cops in the us don't get paid much more then a common food worker.

Just Tuesday and Wednesday and the following Monday to Wednesday. With either this Thursday or the Friday of the last week for the First Aid course depending on which class they stick me in.

I'm halfway through the course, the end of today was the topic test for the last of the core modules. I've learnt so much already...

Especially concerning the legalities of violent acts. Self defense covers a lot more than I thought it did here.

I have a question for everyone that still looks at this club thread.

When you are in a fight, or if you are ever in a fight, will you hold back your strength?
I mean in a real fight against a person not sparring against you. A person trying to beat you down and not get back up. Do or will you hold back or do/will you go all out?


I guess I'll answer it first.
Yes, I hold back. Always do. I try to apply just enough as necessary to win.
As normal, it doesn't always work out in the end.

Unfortunately, I have a low stamina. I need to conserve my energy at times or I'll get worn out too quickly. Let the enemy wear himself out before I do.

Truthfully, I don't think I ever fully let lose in a fight, close, but never to my max limits or anything. Wielding a self-restricted power I guess.

My stamina's not the best, but I work on it.
As for a fight, I'll use all my strength, but I will hold back as much as possible in terms of minimising my damage to fit the situation. If someone was serious about trying to kill me I'd probably give the fight my all, if it was just some random punk I'd be less likely to take them seriously.

I find I can keep going for as long as I need to. Whatever that entails.
I value speed and cheap tricks over most else.

Closing now, since it reached that time again. Lemme know if you wanna poke it with a stick~
