Ashtad Rustomji
I’m a researcher and analyst in the field of study of violence, continuing to train in and research the subject further and constantly evolving and improving my training methods by testing different combat principles, studying and integrating the principles of subjects like general and criminal psychology, also adding cognitive, behavioral and social psychology, sociology, behavioral science, human physiology and anatomy, criminology, victimology and law into the overall training.
Adding psychological, environmental, situational and consequential elements, increasing awareness about the reality of violence, I teach conflict management, self-protection, avoidance and prevention methods (To anyone who wants to learn). But right now, mostly I’m just a personal trainer/fitness coach.

I’ve been in Law Enforcement for almost 20 years now. I served another 5 in firefighting. I started as a member of an intervention unit and climbed through the ranks. The last 10 years I have been a commander, basically chief of police of 23 cities (1300 sworn officers, including CID, Intel, interventions, K9 and local police units)
I am currently the National Program Director Use of Force & Training, which also is my PhD research. I work for both the civilian National Dutch Police as for the Royal Gendarmerie. (Which is a Military organization) Both organizations participate in my research and contribute to it.

Favorite Quotes:
“I want to thank Tim Boehlert for his editing and layout services on this work. A man with a difficult and even dangerous job but one which is needed and which serves a true social purpose.” Excerpt From: Peyton Quinn’s Musashi’s Book of Five Rings: Explained in Plain English.
“Tim Boehlert made sure this book got done. Drew provided a fine foreword and critiqued the manuscript, as did Julianne. The book is far better for their blunt honesty.” Excerpt From: Rory Miller’s Talking Them Through: Crisis Communications with the Emotionally Disturbed and Mentally Ill.
