Importance of Self-Defense Training in Street Altercations

In a viral video, a police officer is seen engaging in a physical altercation with a suspect in a subway station. The officer initially struggles to control the suspect as he is being punched repeatedly. However, he manages to gain control by focusing on controlling the suspect's hips, ultimately mounting him and gaining an advantageous position. This video serves as a reminder of the importance of self-defense training, particularly when it comes to ground fighting. It highlights the need to understand basic techniques for controlling an opponent, such as controlling the hips and maintaining proper positioning. By having a solid foundation in self-defense, individuals can better protect themselves and gain an advantage in street altercations.
