Day 3

08:30 Start today. I had already been up for two hours and gone for my morning run - if you can call it that, ok sorta running, whilst rest of the guys n gilrs were in digs snoring.

Im not complaining yet so its a thumbs up from me. Law and legislation... ok this bit was a bit boring. My eyes are straining with the death by powerpoint usage... but its got to be covered. Reasonable use of force and "I was fearing for my life" will stick in my head.... Might be useful one day, if I am unfortunate to be standing in front of judge over some incident with an idiot. Fingers crossed it wont come to that if Im doing job properly but never say never...

This is the bit I was looking forwad to Defensive Un - Armed combat.
I was like a big kid in a playground... I have martial arts training, im still learning but I knew this was going to be a fun afternoon. We did some warm up exercises running... silly me I neednt have gone in the morning after all...
Then circuit training, then more running, some more circuit training and bag and pad work, yes you guessed it more running.

I have a confession I threw up 3/4 of the way round...went to bog and came back for more. The salad and vinergette dressing was not the best of ideas I have had before a training session - lesson learnt!

We also practiced doing the firemans carry...Yes I did it and I didnt drop anyone on their head and I ran...

Time for a quick break then carried on with some knife drills, dis-arming, restraining etc along with some foot drill and door drills. Im liking this...

A few had injuries so were not allowed to part take in some of the activities and firemans lift...
