You could watch this and think it is outreach, mentoring, community policing, etc. It could be all of those things, but at the end of the day don’t forget that it’s also just two guys training #jiujitsu ???? #bellevue #police #outeach #aloha #makeadifference #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

The @wa_cjtc Physical Abilities Test consists of a 300 run, pushups, sit-ups and a 1.5 miles run. One of our new recruits is preparing to pass the PAT next month and being a lateral hire from Oahu, I never had to complete the test here. If you were an interested potential applicant for our department I would’ve told you that the PAT is the easiest part of the hiring process because it is the only piece that you can prepare for in advanced. It would only be fair of me to back up that talk by completing the test. I do #kettlebell swings and #jiujitsu for cardio so I was interested to see how my body would feel during the run. The uniform adds about 20lbs / 9kg of weight and I could really feel it towards the end. The vest and belt make sit-ups a lot harder too. It wasn’t a record breaking performance, but I still passed. What is your preferred method of staying ready? #bellevue #police #fitness #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

#weaponretention with an unholstered gun on the ground is definitely one of the scariest things an officer can experience. While we can’t recreate training to address every situation, we try to problem solve through as many as scenarios as we can. Like punch defense from the bottom of the fight, the use of your legs as wedges helps significantly. Thank you to my friend Tae for the great training experience.

Unbelievable. Officer Harvey sent us items he purchased himself to deliver to a family in our #community who is coming out of homelessness! Mahalo for your kindness sir ????? Next month I was told another family will be moving into the housing and will most likely need larger furniture items. In the meantime, if you are in our area and have any of the below items and are willing to donate them, message me and we will coordinate ????? Small kitchen table
Small kitchen rug
Small tv stand
Toaster
Queen size box spring/bed ( they have mattress)
Wall hanger with 8+ hooks

Gi, or #nogi, always come prepared. The #selfdefense class is a free class for youth in our #community???? #tbt #bellevue #police #jiujitsu #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom ?@jeffkaale

Some footwork and agility drills at the station before work. Day by day ???? **our @safarilandgroup holsters have multiple retentions and the @sigsauerinc p320Rx has multiple internal safeties which make a discharge from impact not possible**?? ?@jeffkaale #bellevue #police #streetplantbattalion #nocomply #skateboarding #skatelikeacop #protectbellevuedotcom

Grappling, striking, and pretty much any dynamic movement in full uniform is much more difficult. Most of us have gear that weighs at least 20lbs / 9kg, and that extra weight adds up fasts when you are trying to move quickly. The first time I tried a few rounds of Thai kicks to our heavy bad my core was really sore the next few days. Torso rotation isn’t really inhibited but getting your hips to whip around for effective strikes is harder and much more tiring.

Rolling in uniform shows you what the differences and limitations are. After a safety check to remove live weapons and making sure there isn’t anything sharp to scratch the mats, you will find that wearing a vest and belt greatly reduces torso flexion, and the soles of your boots get caught on any loose clothing **shoes were cleaned before stepping on the mats**??. Retentions get inadvertently released and belt keepers are absolutely necessary. I like to keep the back of my belt clear because having stuff positioned on your back hurts if you get stuck underneath someone. I’m grateful to have awesome friends like Tae who are willing to show me what I need to work on. #bellevue #police #selfdefense #jiujitsu #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

An incident happened last month in California where a deputy was disarmed while fighting with a suspect involved in a domestic dispute. #weaponretention with an unholstered gun on the ground is definitely one of the scariest things an officer can experience. While we can’t recreate training to address every situation, we try to recreate and problem solve through as many as scabrous as we can. Like punch defense from the bottom of the fight, the principle of using your legs as wedges helps significantly with weapon retention. #bellevue #police #selfdefense #jiujitsu #graciesurvivaltactics #protectbellevuedotcom

Intervals of some knee on belly transitions with a speed reload (those are dummy rounds) on @erikpaulson’s Motion Master with the uniform and gear. Very difficult, lots of work to do. ???⚫️?⚫️??@byrook1e **shoes were cleaned before stepping on the mats**??#bellevue #police #jiujitsu #oldman #fitness #oahugrown #aiea #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

When he’s not breaking sales records with his company @quikflipapparel on @amazon’s Deal of The Day, Bullyproofing youth around the world, or being a great husband and dad, @renergracie still somehow finds time for his “day job.” Every time I get to roll with Rener I think to myself: “So this is what an açai brick in the Vitamix must feel like.” ? Thanks for the mentorship / friendship over the past 11 years bro! Keep changing the ? for the better ?????? #bellevue #police #jiujitsu #selfdefense #graciesurvivaltactics #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom
