Continuous practice to hone skills to perfection; complacency leads to deterioration of skill.

Fighting techniques must be continuously practiced and refined. The police officer must develop martial skills through constant combat practice and body conditioning. Whether training involves contact sparring or choreographed drills, the ultimate goal is to develop skills capable of overwhelming the most ferocious opponent. For when the day comes that he must actually use these skills in a real situation, the police officer must have a simple but effective repertoire of techniques that he can call upon naturally and instinctively. In combat, one must grasp four principles: fighting time, fighting position, fighting distance, and correct use of surroundings. The goal of combat training is to hone these tools, so that when facing a criminal, the officer will know the best time and place to attack, without having to panic and rush. When the officer attacks, he must act with power, confidence, and speed so as to intimidate the criminal into submission. Only in readiness can his fighting spirit be expressed.
