Come with me Self Defense
The "come-along" technique is a method used in self-defense and law enforcement to control or move an aggressor without causing unnecessary harm. It's essentially a way to apply a joint lock that leverages pain compliance to safely escort or control an individual. While there are various come-along techniques targeting different joints, a common focus is on the wrist or arm because these areas can be effectively controlled with minimal force. Here’s a basic outline of a come-along technique focused on the wrist:
1. Initial Contact
This move starts when you've already grabbed or somehow gained control of the attacker's arm. Ensure you're in a balanced stance, ready to move or apply additional techniques as needed.
2. Securing the Wrist
Underhand Grip: Reach under the aggressor’s wrist with your hand, palm facing up. Your fingers should wrap around the back of the aggressor's hand, with your thumb securing the side of the hand or wrist.
The key here is to secure the wrist firmly but without unnecessary force initially, to prevent escalation.
3. Applying Pressure
Leverage: Use your free hand to grab your own wrist or forearm, creating a double-handed grip that allows you to apply controlled pressure.
Twist and Bend: Gently but firmly, twist the wrist to a point where it's uncomfortable for the aggressor. This is usually achieved by bending the wrist towards the forearm or twisting it in a way that applies pressure against the joint’s natural range of motion.
4. Control and Escort
Once the wrist is secured and pressure is applied, you can guide the aggressor to move in a desired direction. The discomfort should make them compliant.
It's important to keep the wrist close to your body for control and to apply steady pressure to maintain compliance without causing injury.
5. Safety Considerations
Awareness: Be constantly aware of the aggressor's movements and prepared to adjust your technique or disengage if they attempt to counter.
Communication: If possible, communicate clearly with the aggressor, instructing them on what you want them to do. This can help de-escalate the situation.
Training and Precautions
Professional Training: Learning and practicing come-along techniques should be done under the guidance of a qualified instructor to ensure they are performed safely and effectively.
Legal and Ethical Use: These techniques should only be used in situations where you are legally justified in doing so, and the force used is reasonable and proportional to the threat.
Ethical Use and Misuse
Remember, come-along techniques are control techniques, not punitive measures. The goal is to de-escalate and control a situation, not to cause unnecessary pain or injury.
Misuse of these techniques can lead to serious injuries and legal repercussions. Always prioritize de-escalation and avoidance of physical confrontation whenever possible.
Practice and Proficiency
Regular practice is crucial to maintaining proficiency in come-along techniques, as timing, grip strength, and the ability to read an aggressor's movements are all skills that degrade without use.
Practicing these techniques within a self-defense class or martial arts training can provide a safe environment to learn and understand the nuances of effective application.
Come-along techniques are advanced self-defense methods that require proper training and understanding of the mechanics involved. They are powerful tools for controlling a situation but come with a responsibility to use them wisely and ethically.
