I agree with what was taught. For something to become an unconscious action, it has to be repeated in your mind and body hundreds of times. If not for a class I cannot see me cuffing anyone hundreds of times, I am not a police officer, just a security officer on private property.
Hand cuffing is rare at work, and only used when the situation warrants it. It is far better to use your brain then get physical.
Yes I would rather hold hands with a Walk Out and be their friend rather than force anything. (and I did do that, with his girlfriend walking beside us, and he swinging our arms.) Force usually is met with violence, and that is not my style. They can call me every name in the book, but as long as we are moving towards departure it really does not matter.
But I know that I have a disadvantage from most of the men in our department. Most of them have either police or military backgrounds. My strengths lies in empathy, quiet insistence and reporting. I do not usually have to ask a man to assist me, though they are always there as a precaution, which I appreciate. For the most part males will get meaner with other men rather than with me. It's the women I have to watch out for. And some of them are real doozies.
I will wait till after the Christmas season has passed. I know that I cannot afford an expensive class. I am hoping that the one that was spoken of is still available at a reasonable cost.
'Tis the season to be jolly..grab your hand, twist it up, lock the elbow, push up towards your back... break to bend at the elbow..NOW! "Get Down!"
LOL..

She's a mean on, Ms. Grinch! I know that is not really about you but it is the 1st thing that came to mind. I agree that it would be good to take a self defense class. Otherwise, you take Gilly with you everywhere in that suitcase of a purse you carry, and when threatened....you throw Gilly (already taken out of the purse) at the suspect!
Just think about it....it might work!
