How old is the oldest person you know who trains #jiujitsu? Mari worked on two awesome takedowns that I learned from @nateorch10p @10thplanetseattle and she killed it! We finished with the armlock/triangle/armlock drill. Mari said that when she was born there were only 48 stars on the ??. Amazing!! She definitely inspired everyone who was there. The women’s #selfdefense is a free class for women in our #community????⚫️?⚫️ #motivation ##inspiration #police #selfdefense #outreach #aloha #worldclan #makeadifference #fitness #tecnica #alavanca #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

Waking the beat you have to always be ready because a Kru Yai (Chief Instructor) like @warriorstrengthtrainer could pop up out of nowhere. We are very fortunate to have him in our #community to help us protectbellevue.com ???⚫️?⚫️?? #tbt #bellevue #police #muaythai #selfdefense #fitness #boxing #outreach #aloha #oahugrown #aiea #guam #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

We used our property/evidence van to help move more donated furniture into the home of a family in need today. Mahalo to Jason, @a.e.206.408 and @jrthriftstore for your help and for all that you do! We are #blessed to have you in our #community ?????⚫️?⚫️ #bellevue #police #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #sisepuede #oldman #fitness #oahugrown #aiea #protectbellevuedotcom

Aside from punches, #headlocks are one of the most common behaviors in a fight. I’m very lucky that my friend & teammate @al_macoy let me get in a few reps in with my work clothes on. Notice that the wall-pin headlock counter is the same mechanically as the first headlock counter. Moving with the gear on is more difficult, but important to periodically feel. Techniques are from the curriculum at @gracieuniversityhq. Free training each week for law enforcement in the King/Sno County area! Message me if you are interested. We would love to have more practitioners and good people from all walks of life on our team and #wearehiring! Including a 16k signing bonus for laterals.

How many other cities in the country have three world class skateparks, a legit city-run skateshop, and employees (including a pro skater) who run year round skatecamps? I’ve had negative contacts with cops as a skater when I was a kid, so it makes me even more stoked that the first contact these kids have with police is bombing a hill together at the @bellevueskatepark #skatecamp ??. So much good vibes thanks to @moormansmenu’s vision and @mewnyewnit’s leadership w/ backup from @switchmongopush, @natetrahan, & @camboslice83. Mahalo to for letting us be part of the fun!**our holsters have multiple retentions on them and my firearm (HK USP) has two internal safeties so a discharge from impact is not possible** ???⚫️?⚫️??@not_theking #fbf #bellevue #police #skateboarding #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #oahugrown #aiea #skateweeklyorskateweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

We used our property/evidence van to deliver more donated furniture into homes of families who are coming out of homelessness yesterday. The donations included a super heavy 220lb+ glass table, which even Dee had a hard time moving. Luckily I was able to commandeer a #longboard for official ? business. If you are in the area and would like to donate, message me and we’ll see if we can coordinate ????⚫️?⚫️?? @jeffkaale #bellevue #police #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #sisepuede #skatelikeacop #oldman #fitness #protectbellevuedotcom #oahugrown #aiea #protectbellevuedotcom

Mahalo to @echocharles & @jockowillink for the shoutout (#jockopodcast episode 154)! It’s embarrassing because there are so many outstanding #jiujitsu practitioners who are also cops (like @larryperreira) that I look up to who are way better representatives of both our profession and Jiu-Jitsu than I am. But if an old, average purple belt like me can convince even one person to start the journey then it’s totally worth it. Thank you to my instructors @ryrongracie @renergracie @nateorch10p @10thplanetseattle @kindredjiujitsu and all the other Jiu-Jitsu instructors around the ? who teach and support the men and women who keep our communities safe. We would love to have more practitioners and good people from all walks of life on our team and #wearehiring! Including a 16k signing bonus for laterals.

One of my favorite things about our #community is its #diversity. People from all over the ? come here to live and work and these young men are a perfect example of that. Languages spoken in their homes besides English include #Russian #Kyrgyz #Japanese #Punjabi & #Spanish. The #eastsidepugs is a nonprofit #boxing program under @usaboxing run by @oathermark. It allows youth in our community to earn their membership and compete under the guidance of high level boxing coaches like Mark, @budoboxer, @vlad.dimitrovich and coach Antoine. Watch out for David, the #southpaw I was holding mits for. 8th grade, and he’s going to be a monster in a few years ???⚫️?⚫️??#bellevue #police #boxing #outreach #aloha #america #makeadifference #fitness #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

“Always assume that your opponent is going to be bigger, stronger and faster than you; so that you learn to rely on technique, timing and leverage rather than brute strength.” -#heliogracie ? **DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME** @a.e.206.408 is about and 90lbs / 40.82kg heavier than @xfitgirlwa. He just finished his first Jiu-Jitsu class and was curious to see the effectiveness of a properly applied Vascular Neck Restraint. Carri is at the beginning of her #lawenforcement career and has a few #jiujitsu classes under her belt. The VNR (aka RNC, or 裸絞) is an effective and safe technique to use when dealing with a combative/assaultive person. When it is properly applied will render a person unconscious in 4-7 seconds. Because this technique and several variations of carotid artery occlusion are applied to the necks of Jiu-Jitsu and #judo practitioners on a daily basis, they are often surprised to find out that many departments place this technique at the same level of force as using a firearm. The bilateral compression of the carotid arteries allows a smaller person like Carri a realistic chance to survive against someone who is much bigger and stronger. Unlike knocking someone out with a strike, when the VNR is performed properly, the assailant is also not injured. If you are a law enforcement officer in this area and are interested in free DT training, send me a message. Stay safe. Mahalo again to Ariel, that is invaluable practice you gave to Carri ??⚫️?⚫️?#police #selfdefense #womenempowered #graciesurvivaltactics #tecnica #alavanca #fitness #oahugrown #aiea #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom
