VIDEO | Gracie Survival Tactics: Officer Tested, Suspect Approved…AND Camera Friendly!

Worked with some of our new hires (& special guest Jayden from the #eastsidepugs) on some @gracieuniversityhq curriculum. After class they helped push me through a few rounds of mount control and punch defense from the bottom. Without jiu-jitsu, at 130lbs most of my coworkers would have no problem removing me from the top position. Without jiu-jitsu, if I was stuck on the bottom of a fight I would be in danger of serious bodily injury. The beauty of this art however, is that even if the positions are reversed, the fight isn’t over. And although I tried catching some triangles, the main benefit of the gentle art for us is not the submissions, it’s the ability to know how to stay safe while in unfavorable positions and survive. The belt and vest limits torso flexion significantly, and it’s good to feel how much less flexibility there is in training before it really matters. We’re very lucky to have opportunities to test the limits of our bodies and gear in a training environment that is challenging, but safe. **shoes were cleaned/disinfected before stepping on the mats** ???⚫️?⚫️?#bellevue #police #selfdefense #graciesurvivaltactics #jiujitsu #tecnica #alavanca #fitness #outreach #aloha #oahugrown #aiea #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.” ???⚫️?⚫️??@ndjustus #heliogracie #fbf #selfdefense #gracieuniversity #jiujitsu #tecnica #alavanca #trainweeklyorfightweakly #fitness #oahugrown #aiea #protectbellevuedotcom

Did some “agility and footwork drills” with the @saucy_posse4l today! Mahalo to @flaws_of_a_goddess and @kalimah.richardson for teaching me and to Jayden, Jae’Quan, and Asili for your patience. I’ll keep practicing ????⚫️?⚫️ #bellevue #police #stepping #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #oahugrown #aiea #fitness #culture #shoyoroll #worldclan #stepweeklyorstepweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

Brian James, aka “Jiu-Jitsu Cop” is an active police officer and BJJ purple belt who works to encourage police across the country to learn Jiu-Jitsu. He talks about how Jiu-Jitsu has saved him (literally) on the job, and how it can do the same for others!

#blessed to have coworkers like @larryperreira to coach me through some transitions with the gear on. **shoes were cleaned/disinfected before stepping on the mats** ???⚫️?⚫️?#bellevue #police #selfdefense #graciesurvivaltactics #jiujitsu #fitness #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

#selfdefense class with @dylan_2na. Dylan is like an encyclopedia of information when it comes to the fight game or hip hop music. If you enjoy conversations about either, he is your guy. He is also super flexible and I was reminded of that from the inverted triangle he got me with. The self defense class is a free class to youth in our #community ???⚫️?⚫️? #bellevue #police #jiujitsu #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #oahugrown #aiea #fitness #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

Paco and @marcos.2o9 letting me hold mits for them after their training session. Back in October Marcos messaged me and asked if he could be connected with the #eastsidepugs nonprofit boxing program under the guidance and coaching of @oathermark. 8 months later he has grown into being a great #teammate and training partner for the team. Super proud of both of these guys ???⚫️?⚫️?? #bellevue #police #boxing #fitness #outreach #sisepuede #makeadifference #oahugrown #aiea #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

@vickynguyen1403, @maijamuses and Manny getting after it! The women’s #selfdefense class is a #free class for women in the #community. @farselfdefence ???????#bellevue #police #womenempowered #jiujitsu #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #oahugrown #aiea #fitness #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

Last year officer Bobby White’s @basketballcopfoundation hooked up our #community big time with donated skateboards, helmets, and pads. His foundation graciously offered to #collaborate again this year, but in a totally different way.
