About this Event
Baton 101: Safe & Effective Baton Use is a practical, hands-on course for security professionals who have completed Responder Use of Force training and want to further develop their baton skills.
With roots in Kali, a Filipino martial art known for its emphasis on impact weapons, movement, angles and defensive techniques, the course uses structured drills and repetition to help participants become more comfortable and competent with the baton as a defensive tool.
