It complements a forthcoming publicly available directory of Canadian research and written material entitled Policing in Canada: A Bibliography. Together the manual and bibliography constitute a major practical step towards the development of a Clearinghouse for Police Information that will meet the needs of Canadian police departments. The material included in this manual was contributed by Canadian police departments of all sizes and related organizations from • every province. The manual stands as a monument to the Canadian police chiefs who, at the cost of many thousands of hours of police time, made available the resources necessary to prepare the material on which this manual is based. This is a Canadian police manual, prepared by Canadian policemen for their own use. The manual was prepared by the Centre of Criminology, the University of Toronto, under contract with the Solicitor General of Canada. The project was undertaken under the joint sponsorship of the Solicitor General of Canada and the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. • Acknowledgements • The Ministry of the Solicitor General and the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police greatly acknowledge the work of Clifford Shearing, Senior Research Associate, Centre of Criminology, University of Toronto, who was responsible for the preparation of the manual, and the efforts of Jennifer Lynch and Sue Corke, his assistants. Jennifer Lynch assisted in preparing the bibliography and used the considerable experience gained on that project in her work on the manual. She was heavily involved throughout in the planning of the project and was responsible for making the vast majority of contacts necessary to edit the information for inclusion in the manual. Sue Corke was responsible for the enormous job of compiling all the information received into a usable form and for guiding the project through its final stages. Charlotte Mudge and Catherine Matthews, successive librarians at the Centre of Criminology, assisted greatly in the preparing of the indexes for the manual. Catherine Matthews also worked closely with Sue Corke during the final stages of the project to ensure that a consistent, technically sound "key word" index was produced. Finally, and most importantly, the Ministry of the Solicitor General and the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police are indebted to the contributors, drawn from across the Canadian police community, who provided the resources and the materials on which this manual is • based. Recherche subventionnée par le ministère du Solliciteur général en application de la subvention no 62-6/5/96, et en collaboration avec l'Association canadienne des chefs de police. • Avant-propos Ce guide, composé de trois volumes, contient un répertoire des projets, programmes et procédés ayant cours dans les Services de police canadiens et conçus à leur intention. Il complétera le futur répertoire d'ouvrages de référence canadiens intitulé Policing in Canada: A Bibliography. La publication de ce guide et de la bibliographie constitue une initiative utile en vue de la formation d'un Centre d'information sur la police pouvant satisfaire les besoins des Services de police canadiens. La documentation contenue dans ce manuel a été fournie par des Services de police canadiens de toutes grandeurs et des organismes connexes établis dans chaque province. Ce guide est le fruit d'un travail considérable de la part des chefs de police canadiens qui, au prix d'un grand nombre d'heures de travail, ont fourni les ressources nécessaires à la préparation de la documentation sur laquelle le guide est basé. Ce guide sur le secteur policier canadien a été préparé par des policiers canadiens à l'intention de l'ensemble des forces policières du pays. L'ouvrage a été rédigé par le Centre de criminologie de l'Université de Toronto, en vertu d'un contrat conclu avec le Solliciteur général du Canada, et il a été entrepris sous l'égide du Solliciteur général du Canada et de l'Association canadienne des chefs de police. • • Remerciements Le ministère du Solliciteur général et l'Association canadienne des chefs de police remercient vivement Monsieur Clifford Shearing, adjoint principal de recherche, Centre de criminologie, Université de Toronto, et responsable de l'élaboration du guide ainsi que ses collaborateurs, Jennifer Lynch et Sue Corke, pour le travail accompli en vue de la préparation de cet ouvrage. Ayant participé à l'établissement de la bibliographie précitée, Mlle Jennifer Lynch a pu faire servir cette expérience considérable à l'élaboration du présent guide. Elle a participé à toutes les étapes de la planification des travaux et elle s'est occupée eétablir la plupart des contacts nécessaires à la publica- tion des renseignements devant être inclus dans le guide. Sue Corke • s'est chargée de rassembler toutes les données ainsi recueillies, de les disposer sous une forme qui se prête à la publication et de superviser chacune des dernières étapes du projet. Charlotte Mudge et Catherine Matthews, ayant travaillé alternativement comme bibliothécaires du Centre de Criminologie, ont aidé grandement à préparer les index du guide. Catherine Matthews a travaillé étroitement avec Sue Corke durant les étapes finales des travaux en vue d'assurer la publication d'un index cohérent et ayant valeur scientifique. Enfin, le ministère du Solliciteur général et l'Association canadienne des chefs de police tiennent à remercier tout particulièrement tous les • participants, membres des Services de police canadiens, qui ont fourni • les ressources et la documentation qui ont servi de base à la préparation du guide. • • • • TABLE OF CONTENTS • ADMINISTRATION O PERSONNEL SERVICES (A.P.)

    CQB KAJUKENBO CLUB Combatives, Personal Protection & Defensive Tactics FAQhttp://www.cqbkajukenbo.com Last Modified: 1st May, 2017, 11:50 AM “Only a warrior chooses pacifism; others are condemned to it.” — Unknown “We make war that we may live in peace.” — Aristotle “Civilize the mind but make savage the body.” — Chairman Mao Q: “WHAT IS KAJUKENBO?” Kajukenbo is a hybrid martial art that combines multiple martial arts including (but not limited to) western boxing, judo, jujutsu, kenpo karate, tang soo do, and kung fu. Kajukenbo is considered by many experts to be America’s first ‘Mixed Martial Art‘ — commonly known as ‘MMA‘. It was founded around 1947 in Oahu, Hawaii and the first classes were taught in the Palama Settlement Gym. The original purpose of the art was to deal with local crime, and to help the people defend themselves against U.S. Navy sailors from Pearl Harbor who would start fights with the locals. The creators are recognized as being Sijo (“founder”) Adriano Emperado, Peter Young Yil Choo, Joe Holck, Frank Ordonez, and George Chang, who were later called the ‘Black Belt Society’. The founders of Kajukenbo wanted to develop an art that would be readily useful on the street. As they trained and fought in and around Palama Settlement, the founders of Kajukenbo quickly gained reputations as formidable street-fighters. While similar to -and compatible with- Jeet Kune Do, Kajukenbo predates JKD by about 20 years. Kajukenbo uses hard, fast strikes to soft targets and vital points throughout the body, takedowns involving high impact throws and many joint and limb destruction techniques — usually as follow-ups to takedowns or grappling.

    © COPYRIGHT 2009 BY BRADLEY J. STEINER - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Sword and Pen – July 2009 Issue Visit us regularly: www.americancombato.com Sword and Pen Official Newsletter of the International Combat Martial Arts Federation (ICMAF) and the Academy of Self-Defense E D I T O R I A L Results From Training Depend Upon Your Input THE techniques of close combat and self-defense are fairly simple. They can be easily understood, learned in a reasonable period of time, acquired initially with no tremendous physical prowess or athletic talents, and — once acquired — they can be retained pretty well. However, anyone aspiring to be really good in the art of close combat, to achieve a level of great personal confidence and skill, and to be able to handle just about any adversary under any conceivable conditions, anywhere, must understand that there are no short-cuts. The only path to practical knowledge and reliable skill is through practice, practice, and more practice. 1 © COPYRIGHT 2009 BY BRADLEY J. STEINER - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Sword and Pen – July 2009 Issue Regularity and persistence, much more than prolonged and extensive all day sessions in the practice hall, are the keys to mastery. This is especially true in practical close combat work, since workouts of two, three, or even more hours duration are quite customary for classical/traditional ―martial arts‖, while sessions lasting between 30 and 60 minutes are quite sufficient for the combat trainee — but those 30 to 60 minute sessions need to be put in with the regularity of a chronometer and the persistence of a religious fanatic! We neither kid nor exaggerate.
