In the Law Enforcement Defense and Intervention Techniques (KSMT) course, it is aimed to intervene with the least harm and the least damage to the ability of the gendarmerie personnel to regulate their behavior while intervening in any difficulty they encounter during their duties. Law Enforcement Defense and Intervention Techniques (KSMT), which is the defense sport of the gendarmerie, is a defense sport that blends many defense sports. Law Enforcement Defense and Intervention Techniques (CSMT) is a nerve pressure based technique that does not require more force. In the study, semi-experimental design method with pre- and post-test control groups, which is one of the experimental design methods, was applied. 80 faculty students of the 4th grade who took KSMT course after taking kickboxing courses at Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy in 2021-2022 participated in the study as an experimental group, and 80 Officer Training Center Students who took KSMT courses without taking kickboxing lessons participated as control groups. As a result of the study, it is seen that the experimental (Faculty) and control (SUEM) groups participating in the research had a significant difference (p<0.05) in their situational interest and perceived proficiency level for the course in the final test. According to the result, it is seen that the experimental group students who take wrestling lessons have a higher level of perceived proficiency than the students in the control group.
