A few of our new hires were running a Tabata protocol workout and they were nice enough to let me be jump in as one of the stations in the circuit. If you’ve never tried rolling in uniform (or regular clothes) I highly recommend it to see what the differences are. Greatly reduced torso flexion due to the vest and belt, retentions get inadvertently released, belt keepers are absolutely necessary, and the soles of your boots get caught on loose clothing **shoes were cleaned before stepping on the mats**??. I like to keep the back of my belt clear because having stuff positioned there hurts if you get stuck underneath someone. I’m grateful that I have awesome friends who are willing to show me what I need to work on. ? @jeffkaale #bellevue #police #selfdefense #jiujitsu #fitness #outreach #aloha #oahugrown #aiea #graciesurvivaltactics #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom
