BDS Tactical describes the law-enforcement branch of the Boehlig Defense Systems. Not only does it include effective self-defense techniques to ensure the safety of the officer but it also offers efficient ways to control and haul off an aggressor. The use of reasonable force has the highest priority and the fact that those authorities using the program were able to detect a decrease in officer injuries and in violent physical confrontation generally speaks for the effectiveness of BDS Tactical.
On invitation of the head-instructor of BOPE Maceió (a special unit of the Police forces in Maeció, Brazil), Sifu Thommy Luke Boehlig introduced the officer to the BDS Tactical program.
Together with Brazialian National Director Elder Lima he demonstrated restrain and control techniques and also very effective self-defense techniques that have their roots in the Wing Tsjun system.
Due to its capability to deal with an attacker even in a narrow space Wing Tsjun is ideal for the needs of the Brazilan officers who often find themselves in close-quarter combat with drug dealers in Favelas (poor neighborhoods) in the Maceió area.
After the seminar, Sifu Thommy and Elder were led through the fort and received a view into the training facilities of the unit.
It was agreed to carry on with the training of BDS Tactical in the near future.
