ON GUARD is a simple but highly effective system of techniques and strategies for violence intervention and prevention. It has been designed to defend oneself easily as well as control others without injury to them. These “benevolent” techniques use no punching or kicking nor do they require great physical strength. Defense and control is achieved by employing pressure points, joint immobilizations, takedowns, come-a-long holds and pins with a minimum of force. Created in part from the tactics originally designed for the elite Japanese riot police and Imperial Guard, the program has expanded internationally, being adapted to culture, custom, current needs and legal guidelines. All techniques are structured to be easily learned yet effective under real life circumstances. The focus is on using only the amount of force necessary to control the situation.

The ON GUARD system could be useful for just about anyone but its particular design is especially adapted for law enforcement and security personnel where control and detainment are more important that the defeat of the opponent. It has been successfully used by officers of the R.C.M.P. and other police forces, U.S. military, hospital security and private investigators.
