I first met @_brendandillon when he was helping as a skate coach at one of the @bellevueskatepark camps about 6 years ago. He’s now in his first year of college has been officially bitten by the jiu-jitsu bug! We went over the classic hip bump/kimura/guillotine sequence at the station and he did awesome! We hooked him up with a donated @bjj.fanatics gi too.
After training he was nice enough to let me work on some takedowns, weapon retention and top control.
If you’ve never trained in uniform, torso flexion and rotation are greatly reduced with all the gear and the extra weight (20lbs / 9kg) really adds up towards the end. It’s good to know what will fall out of my pockets and how secure the holsters and open top mag pouches are in a training environment. The treads on the bottom of the boots get stuck on loose clothing too. Day by day 🥋🤙🏽 Since someone asked, the gun is a @nltsirt pistol. **Always safety check to ensure no live weapons are in play** #police #jiujitsu #graciesurvivaltactics #outreach #aloha #makeadidderence #recruiting #trainweeklyorfightweakly #aiea #oahugrown
