Loren W. Christensen is a retired cop and high-ranking martial artist who survived everything the mean streets threw at him, working patrol, gang enforcement, and dignitary protection. Defensive Tactics goes beyond what is taught in the academy, during an officer's in-service training, and what is allowed by the administration.
This book also includes a chapter on proven ways to control a suspect on the ground, written by LAPD officer Mark Mireles, an MMA coach, police academy trainer, and champion wrestler.

Thinking Ahead
- An accelerated heart rate caused by exercise flushes your face (turns it red, if youâre light skinned) as blood vessels dilate to allow blood to surge to your muscles.
- An accelerated heart rate caused by fear pales your face (turns it white, if youâre light skinned) because of vasoconstriction, the narrowing of blood vessels that constricts or slows blood flow.
- Around 115 bpm, most people lose fine motor skills, such as finger dexterity and eye-hand coordination, making it virtually impossible to, say, type in a code to unlock a door or find the right key in a cluster of keys. Multitasking also becomes difficult.
- Around 145 bpm, most people lose their complex motor skills, movements that involve a series of muscle groups, such as eye-hand coordination, precise tracking of movement, and exact timing. Executing complicated self-defense techniques becomes difficult if not impossible.
- Around 175 bpm, most people experience numerous negative effects: tunnel vision (meaning a loss of depth perception) and loss of memory of what happened (though there is usually a 30 percent recall after the first 24 hours, 50 percent after two days, and 75 to 95 percent after three to four days).
- At 185â220 bpm, most people go into a state of âhypervigilance,â sometimes referred to as the âdeer in the headlightsâ mode. This is often characterized by performing actions that are useless, such as continuing to desperately twist a doorknob on a locked door. People in this condition are often unable to move or scream. When they do move, they sometimes do so irrationally by leaving their place of cover.
