arrestees. Their teachers were jujutsu experts from the United States.
The Taipei Police Station invited two instructors from the US to teach them how to use jujutsu to subdue subjects. Martial arts instructors Dave Camarillo and Khai Wu taught their skills to a special service squadron. Camarillo has 34 years of martial arts experience while Wu has won awards for his skills. They demonstrated how to subdue a person with jujutsu upon initial contact.
Camarillo explains the advantages of this approach. Jujutsu gives you the option of increasing intensity or decreasing intensity according to the threat so ideally we deescalate the situation.
