This course instructs the student on the Controlled F.O.R.C.E. defense training system. The Controlled F.O.R.C.E.® training system utilizes five basic building block holds known as Mechanical Advantage Control Holds, or M.A.C.H.™ holds. These M.A.C.H. holds are the backbone of the Controlled F.O.R.C.E. training system, and are designed to provide the student with an opportunity to enhance his or her continued development in defensive tactics training. The M.A.C.H.™ holds, as well as the entire Controlled F.O.R.C.E.® training system, have been developed, and are taught, in such a manner as to assure a high level of retention for all students, even though the Controlled F.O.R.C.E.® training system is taught by many different instructors. This course will enhance a student’s ability to defend themselves. Students successfully completing this course will earn a Level 1 certification in the Controlled F.O.R.C.E self- defense system.

Controlling Purpose:
The Controlled F.O.R.C.E.® training system was created for the nation’s public and private law enforcement agencies. The founders of the Controlled F.O.R.C.E.® training system assembled a team of accomplished, professional instructors and police officers who shared a desire to create a practical defensive tactics training program. After years of research, this panel of professional instructors, known as the Controlled F.O.R.C.E.® Team, identified a strong demand among law enforcement professionals for a comprehensive defensive tactics training program that is extremely effective, highly retained by its students, and can easily co-exist with a department’s current defensive tactics programs.
The Controlled F.O.R.C.E.® training system utilizes five basic building block holds known as Mechanical Advantage Control Holds, or M.A.C.H.™ holds. These M.A.C.H. holds are the backbone of the Controlled F.O.R.C.E. training system, and are designed to provide the student with an opportunity to enhance his or her continued development in defensive tactics training.

The Controlled F.O.R.C.E.® Team leads an elite, hand-picked group of professional instructors who all have an average of ten years teaching experience. This is an accomplished team that holds integrity, leadership, and ethics in high regard, and desires to create, improve, and maintain a program that stands as the leader in defensive tactics training. Completion of this Training Manual is your first step in becoming a part of the Controlled F.O.R.C.E.® Team.
Learner Outcomes:
The Controlled F.O.R.C.E.® Team deals primarily with the issue associated with hand-to-hand confrontations. Unlike most programs, M.A.C.H.™ holds do not concentrate on a set number of locks or holds, or simply teach theory without application. The M.A.C.H.™ hold techniques teach a student how to subdue an opponent in a safe and controlled manner, rather than rely on pure strength to overcome the opponent.
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to demonstrate the appropriate holds and take downs taught in the National Controlled FORCE (First Offensive Reaction in a Controlled Environment) curriculum.
The student will be certified as a Level I Controlled FORCE user.
