Hey Daniel

I have used it many times while on duty. Mostly pressure points
weakening the subject in order to get them into a position to
restrain or handcuff them. My teacher was Grand Master Michael
Wollmershauser who passed away this last December.The US as a whole
does not teach this style. However My Teacher taught the Canadian
Police and many other local Departments in the USA. I have also
taught classes for my local instructor as well. I have taught other
Officers in the past. I am working with a partner on the possibility
of opening my own school at some point in the future. I enjoy
answering your questions feel free to ask me anything concerning
Hapkido and I will do my best to answer them. Thank You.

Lee
