USING JIU-JITSU IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF POLICE EMPLOYEES, ITS ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

Abstract

Some time ago, most of the offenders were in poor physical shape, and sometimes there were those who once engaged in some kind of martial arts, the list of which at that time was quite small. Mostly it was either wrestling, classical or freestyle, or judo or sambo, sometimes boxing and occasionally karаte. Over time, the situation changed. The requirements for the professional training of police officers also changed. This happened not only in one country, but all over the world. Today, many offenders are in good physical shape, play sports, attend gyms and martial arts classes, and sometimes learn professional weaponry, cold or firearms. Therefore, the professional training of police officers must meet all modern challenges. No matter how the requirements for it changed, some things have always remained unchanged, this is the maximum efficiency of the technique, and the minimum risk of injury for police officers and criminals. Of course, vocational training specialists turned to various self-defense systems. To some of them, under the influence of a temporary fashion for one or another system. But taking into account the working conditions of police officers, such as close contact, very often a closed space or an armed criminal, most of these systems have not been tested in practice, and did not meet such criteria as maximum efficiency and minimum risk of getting injured, both for the police officer and for the offender. Also, another criterion is the widespread use of the system so that it is tested by practice as many times as possible. One of the systems that has been tested by practice and meets all the requirements is jiu-jitsu. It is very common in the world precisely because of its effectiveness. The purpose of the study is to analyze the literature on the use of jiu-jitsu in the professional activities of police officers, its advantages and disadvantages. The object of the research is the professional training of police officers. The subject of the research is law enforcement officers – policemen.
