The course will provide  a solid foundation of law enforcement and corrections grounded control engagements. This is not sport orientated grappling! These are tactics and techniques designed for law enforcement  / correctional engagements wearing full equipment. L.O.C.K.U.P. ®  orientation provides the base of the system with the course specifically focusing on grounded and edged weapon engagements.

The L.O.C.K.U.P. ® System has been awarded the FBI National Academy Associates  2022 Science and Innovation Award.
