Police & Law Enforcement Training in Phoenix and Scottsdale Arizona

UFC Champ Dan "The Beast" Severn Teaches Police at USA Martial Arts

Police & Law Enforcement Training at NSAS 

ScottsdaleExecutiveSecurity.com NTS Nottingham Training Systems Nottingham Sword & Shield Security  USA-MartialArts.com iLoveKickboxingPhoenix.com

Our integrated training program for law enforcement incorporates elements from Krav Maga, Jeet Kune Do, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) and Hapkido.  This program is carefully-integrated for versatility, meaning that similar defensive principles apply to a variety of hostile situations. Therefore, the system can be learned in a relatively short period of instruction. 


The system is designed to train large numbers of personnel at one time. The techniques are easy to retain with minimal review and can be performed under extreme stress. The Krav Maga System has been highly praised by defensive tactics instructors from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies as well as hand to hand combat trainers from special units of the military.  Jeet Kune Do has been used to train elite units such as the US Navy SEALS.  Hapkido (Hwarang Do) and BJJ (Modern Army Combatives) has been taught to US Army Rangers and Special Forces Green Beret.

Bodyguard Training Self defense and Kickboxing Martial Arts Fitness Karate Taekwondo Phoenix






Did You Know That Most Bodyguards Have a Background in Martial Arts?

From Taekwondo, Kenpo, Karate, Kung Fu, Ju-jitsu, Judo, to BJJ, MMA, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Reality Based Self Defense, and Jeet Kune Do the styles of martial arts are as diverse as the men, women and children who practice them.  Millions of people around the world practice martial arts as a recreation, sport, family activity, healthy exercise, cultural education or empowering lifestyle.  

Olympic Sports of Taekwondo and Judo
Taekwondo and Judo are both Olympic Sports as well as martial arts methods with traditional values and components.  Wrestling, arguably the oldest martial art of all (and related to Gladiatorial Pankration) is also an Olympic sport.  Fencing is also an Olympic sport.

MMA, Boxing and Kickboxing - The UFC Octagon
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Greco Roman wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu comprise the primary martial arts found in the highly popular cage fighting events.  While many fighters have backgrounds in traditional martial arts such as Taekwondo and Karate, these events favor the systems and styles that have full contact and resistance training.

More than the particular label or brand of the style, the instructor and coaches are usually what is most important.  The drills, skills and conditioning that they develop as well as the strategy and tactics to employ are the keys to victory.  

For the professional bodyguard or protector, the martial arts offer tremendous opportunity for personal development.  Here are just some of the ways:

1. Health, Fitness and therefore readiness
2. Injury prevention, coordination, increased flexibility
3. Positive attitude, ability to cooperate with others
4. Leadership, self discipline and motivation
5. Problem solving and creative thinking
6. Stress management and positive outlet for energy
7. Camaraderie, teamwork and esprit de corps  
8. Cultural appreciation, etiquette, language and customs
9. Observational skills
10. Protective physical intervention skills 

Whatever style or background, each have value for the professional protector.  From bodyguards, law enforcement agents, military or security, the martial arts is one of the best training options one could be involved in.

    Attacks on Police Officers Rising, Over 60,000 Each Year






    According to Fox News over 60,000 officers are attacked every year.  This results in roughly 16,000 injuries.
    UFC Champ and Martial Arts Master Offer New Training Solutions  
    • 23% increase in Police Shootings in 2009.
    • Ambush shootings unprecedented
    • The most of any year since 1981
    • Multiple officers murdered.  Offenders shooting then moving in for the kill.
    Defensive Tactics Instructor John Nottingham says, "It's time that Officers and their leadership begin to look at different training approaches.  If this isn't proof that things need to change, I don't know what they would need.  That's why my company is sponsoring different thinking and training from people like Dan "The Beast" Severn.  He's been doing no-holds-barred fighting for longer than most officers serve in a career."  
    Warning: Video contains graphic images.








    "Quite frankly, officers are being killed because of inadequate training.  It boils down to ignorance, arrogance and slow reaction time from leadership.  Typical government, they lag behind the times, often getting swayed into an over-reliance on technology and gear, rather than increasing training standards, time and testing.  They have lessons to learn from our successful soldiers in Iraq, Bodyguards and guys like Dan Severn who has put himself on the line in cages like the UFC.  The answers exist.  The question is this, is law enforcement ready and willing to embrace new ideas?  Some of the tactics they are doing is simply out-moded and it's catching up to them.  How many officers will needlessly die from avoidable encounters?  Nottingham Sword & Shield Security is proud to be part of the solution and sponsoring a free Defensive Tactics program to Illinois and Wisconsin Police Officers and Security.

    Dan "The Beast" Severn to teach Illinois Police and Security

    UFC Champion and wrestling legend Dan Severn will conduct Modern MMA "The Dangerzone: Defensive Tactics" (DT) training for law enforcement including Police, Military, Security and those in protective services for two days in Antioch Illinois.

    According to co-host and DT Instructor John Nottingham, "The objective is to familiarize law enforcement with the increasingly popular techniques that suspects may be using. It is imperative for officer survival and to offer effective arrest and control options that are functional even under stress. Protectors like security and law enforcement's training and tactics need to evolve as criminal tactics do. "

    The Police training event is underwritten by Nottingham Sword & Shield Security and hosted at VanPatten's USA Martial Arts of Antioch and provided free to officers and security professionals.

    Nottingham continues, "I come from a military, martial arts and bodyguard background. We believe that more training means more options; in particular, not having to use lethal force like the firearm. That's specifically why our training is infused with bodyguard diffusion and escort techniques for resistive suspects, stress and fear management, confidence building and stress inoculation. Proper use of force is taught at every level to avoid costly liability to the department and ultimately, taxpayers. Ultimately, our goal is to equip officers to be able to go home safe to their families."

    MMA, or MIXED MARTIAL ARTS like featured on popular Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) seminars will be open to the public for beginners to experienced individuals to learn directly from the UFC Champion. Dan is one of the few inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame with the likes of Randy Couture, Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Mark Coleman, and Chuck Liddell. Others may recognize him from his distinguished wrestling background including being an alternate to the Olympic Wrestling Team and a WWE Superstar.
