What is the purpose of low energy impact methods?

Low energy impact methods are specifically designed to achieve a balance between control and minimal harm. The primary purpose is to cause slight physical discomfort or mental distraction rather than significant injury or pain. This approach is often used in law enforcement or self-defense scenarios where the goal is to manage or deter a subject without escalating to high levels of violence or potential long-term physical damage.

This method allows for the effective containment or redirection of a situation while reducing the risk of severe consequences for all parties involved. It focuses on achieving compliance or regaining control in a manner that is proportionate and justified, reinforcing the principle of using the least amount of force necessary to achieve an objective.
