Would it be useful if I would take a martial art (I'm interested in Aikido and Ju-jitsu) prior to becoming a LEO? I'm wondering because it seems that lots of agencies don't like it if you use techniques that they didn't teach you in the academy (except maybe if you are fighting for your life).
I bought a book recently from Loren Christensen: Defensive Tactics: Modern Arrest & Control Techniques for Today's Police Warrior http://www.amazon.com/Defensive-Tact.../dp/1880336995
Would it be better if I'd master techniques described in his book (For those not familiar with the book: he says that techniques he presents in his book are commonly taught in police departments across US, but include subtle nuances that make them effective when s**t hits the fan)?
I'm asking because I'm trying to be as good a cop as possible and don't want to "waste time" on learning techniques that I won't be able to use so I'd greatly appreciate your input.
