TESTIMONIALS
Arm clinch worked!
“Hello Sir,
While on Patrol responding to a call about a suspicious male individual, I spotted the suspect and initiated a stop. As I proceeded toward the individual I conducted my investigation and that determined that I place him in handcuffs.
The individual was not complying with my instructions to place his hands behind his back so I then proceeded closer to him and grabbed his right arm attempting to utilize a over and under grip but he pulled his arm back, immediately as he pulled back and I saw he had his right leg back I knew he was going to punch me with his right hand. So I bursted forward with both my guards up and closed the distance while his hook punch went around the left side of my head and did somewhat of something similar to the tactical clinch but instead I was in the inside line and had my right arm braced against his neck and my left arm wrapped around his right arm. during the struggle I felt he was strong so I immediately transitioned into the arm clinch that I learned from my Tricom Fundamentals Course I am currently taking. While in the arm clinch now on the outside line, I spun my right leg around and took him down to the ground pinning my shoulder and weight on his shoulder and transitioned into the control Position and had him face his palm up and cross his legs then proceeded to handcuffing.
I would just like to say thank you for showing me life saving Techniques that helped me under real life pressure. I will continue to practice the course and still in week #8.
Thank you again Tuhon Jared.”

“…In case you’re don’t remember me, I’m one of the grenadiers on the SLC
POU. I want to give you a very sincere thank you for bringing a high level of training and equipment to SLC.
I honestly believe the helmet we wear thanks to you, saved my life on Saturday during the riots,I was hit in the head so hard with what I think was a street sign, that I got a concussion through the helmet.
My first child is being born in August and if not for the helmet you recommended and got for us, I may not have been around to see him be born.
So again sincerely thank you, and I owe you a beer, or a case.”

“Excellent technique. We used it during use of force incident on duty today and worked quite nicely. It is so simple I was able to talk my partner through it while I controlled the suspect on ground even though he has never practiced TriCom before. Thanks “

"The TRICOM program in my opinion is by far the best training anyone who works in a law enforcement capacity can receive. Jared has created a system of self defense and control tactics using his experience as a police officer, SWAT member, and martial artist that is specifically meant for law enforcement and security to overcome the violent situations they may encounter. The simplicity of this training makes the information being instructed easy to retain leading to better trained and prepared officers giving them a more effective approach to handle an aggressive situation in a safe and controlled manner to reduce the chance of injury to the officer and subject being brought into custody alike. I can personally tell you that the tactical clinch techniques have helped me take control of several non compliant inmates and intoxicated individuals safely without injury."

Standing Arm Bar – First Use
I was dispatched to a theft investigation and contacted the suspect, who surprisingly lied to me about her involvement in the incident. Once the truth (and stolen property) was found in her bedroom I went back to her walkway, where she was with my backing officer. I advised her she was under arrest and her response was “F*** you! Don’t touch me!” and proceeded to run into her home.
I was able to grab her left arm before she was able to close the door. She turned to strike me, but I was able to apply the standing arm bar before she completed her action. This resulted in her being forcefully assisted into the prone position and taken into custody. Of course, she made multiple complaints to the mayor’s office that I forced my way into her home and beat her up.
This technique has been a go to for me and has been used multiple times over the years. I know it’s not a guaranteed thing, but it hasn’t failed me yet.

Greetings from austria...
My first contact with TRICOM was during training days in Cottonwood Heights UT, with Tuhon Jared exposing positions, controlling suspects, I have worked on the front line for 30 years, I make arrests, a search warrant, transport of prisoners and without a doubt, TRICOM is by far the technique that has helped me a lot to do my job more efficiently and with less risk.
Every year I was able to participate in the training in TRICOM in Salt Lake City, training with other policemen from different parts of the world, exchanging experiences and all absorbing the same techniques to control reactive suspects or not. My police agency is in Brazil and I can assure you that TRICOM has made a difference in my work. Greater confidence and more effectiveness when needed.
I have shared this technique with my colleagues and everyone comments very well about TRICOM.
