CLAMP
Chris Lein Arm Management Program
Advanced Instructor Certification Course

THE CLAMP TECHNIQUE IS:

    The technical basis of the CLAMP is taken from Ude Garami (bent arm lock) which is commonly used in the Martial Arts Disciplines of Judo and Jujitsu as a submission hold in mat or ground work.  The CLAMP technique is easy to learn, easy to use, and easy to retain.  It is the highest percentage control technique being taught to law enforcement today.  By high percentage, we mean more officers can use the technique on more subjects successfully.

COMMENTS FROM INSTRUCTORS WHO HAVE TAKEN COURSE

    "Most effective technique I have trained in for the past 16 years of my law enforcement career."

    "This is the future of Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics--Simple gross motor skills, simple technique."

    "This certification is earned, not given."

    "Excellent tool for smaller departments because it has so many applications."

    "I have been waiting for a course such as this, for use in smaller and rural departments, when only one officer may be on duty."

    "The CLAMP technique taught me, no matter what my personal size is, I can control a person who may be out of control."

    "One of the most useful, common sense techniques I have been exposed to.  I can see using the CLAMP in a large percentage of my encounters.  I enjoyed the training."

    "Outstanding, it has changed the technique I use for handcuffing."

    "Has an excellent potential for use in my county jail."

    "I believe the CLAMP has kept me from having excessive use of force charges brought against me.  When the CLAMP is applied, the fight is over."
