I'm planning on becoming a police officer and I would like to learn a martial art in order to defend myself while in the line of duty. There are so many suggestions and different types of martial arts but I can't make up my mind.
Does a police officer really need to learn a style that focuses on ground fighting? When a cop is defending himself should his main focus be to get the guy on the ground to beat him up?
Also should a police officer focus on disarming and or punches? What would be a great fit for a cop? What kind of martial art can I learn so that I don't really need to get the guy on the ground in order to subdue him? Is there a martial art that focuses on disarming, punches and etc.?
I'm 16 years old. If that helps?
