Airline Attendants Get Combatives Training To Deal With Increase in Violent Passengers

 


 Now they're not calling it Combatives, but the last time I looked, Double Cupped hand Strikes to the ears, Eye Jabs, Palm heels/Tiger Claws to the face, Hammerfists, and Knees To the groin pretty much constitutes Combatives.

 In the article linked below, there are numerous pictures of the Flight Attendants delivering these strikes to Spar-Pros and BoB Dummies. 

It's nice to see that somebody at the Airlines understands that the tight conditions within the aircraft as well as the fact that most of the Flight Attendants are not going to have either the time or inclination to commit to long term training in an MMA style facility.  At this point the training is not mandatory, but there is a push on from the Attendants Union to have it become mandatory. 

Some of the people trained will probably be able to make it work, while others may not. Only time will tell if it pays off.
