Whats the best type of martial arts for a security guard to learn?

Question

to restrain people and remove them from a premises without hurting them?

Answer 1

I've used Judo, Aikido, Taiji, and Okinawan Karate.

I would from my experience suggest something with heavy grappling emphasis while you are standing, as you do not want to go to the ground in those types of situations especially with more than one aggressor present. The Judo and Aikido would compliment each other greatly, and as striking art whatever it may be would be good for quick in and outs against a few people.

Answer 2

Calling 911

Answer 3

Japanese Jiu-jitsu.

Answer 4

assuming your from australia?(your question is in aussie questions) bushi kai or zen do kai.

Answer 5

Aikido.  Japanese police are required to become proficient in Aikido for exactly these reasons.

Answer 6

Judo might be a good martial arts for this because it is more of a defensive martial arts than other artforms out there. It's also a relatively popular martial arts that focuses on grappling--throws, hold downs, chokes, joint-locks, immobilizing, etc.

I posted a link about Judo if you'd like to take a look, but I would read up on different martial arts that might be interesting to you as well. There's tons of different art forms out there. Good luck!

Answer 7

Ballbusting

Answer 8

I've been in security for 10 years. My training as a youth consisted of  American Taekwondo and traditional Hapkido. The foot sweeps, throws and wristlocks, along with standing armbars, and hammerlocks that I learned on the fly while on the job, have served me well. But you have to learn from experience and common sense what is going to work, and what isn't. For example, If I, as a 5ft 7, 170 lb S/O have to restrain a 6 ft, 212 lb man, I either call for backup, or go directly to a non-lethal option (pepper spray, baton or even a flashlight) like someone previously mentioned, in real time, situations go very quickly. It's hard to go into a compliance hold with a non-cooperative subject, as i'm sure you know. So find an art that teaches joint locks, but supplement it with something that's heavy on sparring, like boxing, kickboxing, or even BJJ, which best simulates the scuffles you would have with a resisting subject.

Answer 9

I would think a form of Akido or Combat Hapkido.  Combat Hapkido uses ground grappling along with other Akido principles so it's more rounded.

Answer 10

Obviously anything concentrated in standing grappling.  Others mentioned Aikido, Judo, and Jujitsu.  Aikido is kind of a long term thing, Judo would be great training even if all the techniques weren't applicable.  You would have plenty of practice against real resisting opponents.  Jujitsu has all those little goosenecks and come alongs that can be useful as well.  Chi-na would be another good one but hard to find.  Myself I'd highly recommend boxing for the timing to go along with your choice of grappling.  Very quick way to teach people to understand the timing of real world violent encounters.  Boxing is faster so anything you encounter is gonna seem like it is in slow motion, plus boxing made me a far better grappler than I would have been otherwise.

Answer 11

Im a security gaurd & I do JKD concepts.  

Answer 12

Do security specific training ie defensive tactics. The issue is the legislation, common law and duties that empower security. Also the standard operating procedures for the company and venue in question which should have been addressed in rsk assessments for that particular job.

Its a job - its not fighting.  

Answer 13

Eskrima...learn how to handle that night stick. Plus where I'm from many security guards are Filipino already so they don't need to learn haha.
