Soft empty hand control techniques are used in which scenario?

• A. Passive or defensive resistance or verbal direction not enough.
• B. Active aggression requiring counter-strikes.
• C. When deadly force is justified.
• D. When you want to cause maximum injury.

Answer: (A)

Soft empty-hand control techniques are used when the person is showing passive or defensive resistance and verbal directions aren’t enough to gain compliance. The goal here is to gain control safely with minimal force, using controlled holds or guiding actions to prevent escalation and keep everyone safe. They aren’t appropriate for active aggression that requires counter-strikes or for scenarios where deadly force or causing serious injury would be justified.
