Part of the physical qulaifications for joining the RCMP is a shove simulator. It's about the shape of a punching bag and it's on a metal pole that is sprung to simiulate a 175 pound person pushing against you, and it moves latterally too. And you have to be able to hold it back (IE not lose your footing and fall over) and manuver it around. It's really and endurance test. You have to hold this thing for a set amount of time (don't remember how long though). The mounties say that this is practice for subdoing a suspect. And later on you practice against real people, your class mates. IIRC they taugh the women how to take down a man taller than them. Without using his manberries for a speed bag.Originally Posted by Devastatin Dave
Before you ask why I refer to the RCMP so much. I saw a documentary about the Mountie acadamy and all the training they do their. And in high school I went to a carrer seminar thing the mounties were having. They both said the same thing.
