Rolling in uniform is difficult, and I think it’s important to experience that at least a few times in training. The vest and duty belt greatly reduce torso flexion, and the soles of your boots get easily caught on any loose clothing (shoes were cleaned before stepping on the mats??). Retentions get inadvertently released (especially the taser) and belt keepers are absolutely necessary. I like to keep the back of my belt clear because having stuff positioned on your back hurts a lot if you get stuck underneath someone. I’m very grateful to have friends like Dan who are willing to show me what I need to work on and to have a school like @kindredjiujitsu which offers free training for #lawenforcement each week. ?⚫️?⚫️?? **Always safety check to remove live weapons and to make sure there isn’t anything sharp that will scratch the mats** #bellevue #police #selfdefense #jiujitsu #trainweeklyorfightweakly #kindredjiujitsu #protectbellevuedotcom
