Which technique is not an example of compliance control?

• A. Soft empty-hand techniques
• B. Escort holds
• C. Choke holds
• D. Joint locks and pressure points

Answer: (C)

Compliance control focuses on gaining voluntary compliance with minimal harm, using restraint methods that rely on positioning, balance, and controlled force. Soft empty-hand techniques guide or control a person through calm, non-threatening contact and leverage. Escort holds are used to move someone safely from a scene while maintaining control and safety for both parties. Joint locks and pressure points employ controlled leverage and targeted pressure to restrict movement without causing serious injury. Choke holds, in contrast, are designed to cut off airflow or blood flow and can quickly lead to unconsciousness or death. Their risk to life and health makes them unsuitable for compliance-focused restraint, and in most training and policy contexts they are restricted or prohibited. Therefore, choke holds are not considered compliance control.
