This said, I have the honor of expressing my deepest appreciation and gratitude toward Master Lo for the publication of this book. I would like to stress the importance of continuous practice in an attempt to reach perfection, and hope that the reader will always remind himself of this fact. If all law enforcement officers can grasp the essentials of this book, the dregs of our society will tremble at our name. Righteousness must triumph over evil.

PROLOGUE

Prospective police officers must first complete a set course of study before gaining a mandate to serve. Besides having extensive knowledge of the law, police officers must also understand unarmed and armed martial skills, so that when facing any situation in the pursuit of their work, they can respond effectively and efficiently.

The martial aspects of police curricula include Judo, Tae Kwon Do, and other assorted techniques such as grappling, use of the police club, and skills for arresting a suspect. This curriculum undergoes revisions from time to time, to suit the needs of the police force in their ultimate goal of maintaining public order.
