Bellevue PD places a priority on #fitness by allowing officers to #workout on duty. I recently discovered bike officer @larryperreira takes full advantage of this #exercise opportunity, sometimes in very interesting ways. If risk management asks, this was ?his idea. ? #donttrythisathome #wearehiring ???⚫️?⚫️ protectbellevue.com ?@jeffkaale #oahugrown #bellevue #police #waipahu #aiea #skatelikeacop #treadmill #workout #bike #protectbellevuedotcom

“We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.” ???⚫️?⚫️ ?@not_theking #marianwrightedelman #bellevue #police #outreach #aloha #sisepuede #makeadifference #fitness #oahugrown #aiea #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

If you know @larryperreira you know that he loves #nogi #jiujitsu. When I told him that @nateorch10p is teaching day & evening classes at @10thplanetseattle in Bellevue he got so excited he immediately started working on his flexibility ?⚫️?⚫️??? #bellevue #police #rubberguard #oahugrown #waipahu #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

Big mahalo to @zacaquino for letting me share some #selfdefense techniques and principles with the students at the International Community School! Looking forward to the next session. Mahalo also to @ryrongracie and @renergracie for teaching me how to teach. If you have a chance to attend their GST courses for the instructor development alone, I highly recommend it.?????⚫️?⚫️?#bellevue #police #jiujitsu #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #oahugrown #aiea #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

Challenging but fun training session at our station this week! On-duty training like this is provided to all of our new hires on a weekly basis.

If you are thinking about a career in law enforcement, some of the factors to consider when choosing who to apply for are where the department’s DT curriculum comes from, what techniques you are allowed to use, and how often officers get to train. You will find the frequency of training, techniques and tactics very greatly from department to department.

If you are a #jiujitsu practitioner or #fitness enthusiast and would like to consider training as part of your workday, we would love to have you on our team! For more information message me or go to protectbellevue.com #bellevue #police #selfdefense #work #wearehiring #trainweeklyorfightweakly **shoes were cleaned prior to stepping on the mats**????⚫️?⚫️ #oahugrown #aiea

The #eastsidepugs is a nonprofit in our #community run by @oathermark that allows youth to earn their membership and compete under @usaboxing. @ccarlos.f2, @marcos.2o9, @facundo_salinas_, @shaan_brar, @kai_o1632, David & Joseph are some of the toughest young people I know. I enjoy getting smoked by them and watching them grow as pugilists and people ?????⚫️?⚫️ #bellevue #police #boxing #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #fitness #oahugrown #aiea #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

Saw @grifchase and @bamboozlednoodles shredding at the bowl today. Veronica works with @skatelikeagirlsea and helps teach at #ladiesnight each Wednesday at the @bellevueskatepark. She hopes to be an architect someday and has only been skating for a year! Grif is one of the best skaters in the #PNW and rides for @moonshineskateboards. He is going to school hoping to major in mechanical engineering. As you can see from this clip, Grif regularly breaks the laws of physics and gravity ???⚫️?⚫️ #bellevue #police #skateboarding #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #fitness #skatelikeacop #protectbellevuedotcom

#muaythai is known as the art of 8 limbs or the art of 4 weapons, and @warriorstrengthtrainer is one of the best in the #PNW at teaching the finer points of the art. He was nice enough to show me this combination that utilizes strikes from several distances. Great coach to his students and fighters, and an awesome human being. Aside from the weight, torso flexion and rotation are more difficult while wearing the uniform. Day by day. ???⚫️?⚫️?? #bellevue #police #selfdefense #oldman #fitness #boxing #outreach #aloha #oahugrown #aiea #guam #trainweeeklyorfightweekly #protectbellevuedotcom

Way more satisfying than hitting a tire with a sledgehammer!

#turkishgetup before work (53lb/24kg kettlebell). Left side was much more challenging. Watched some YouTube tutorials afterwards and apparently the support arm is supposed to be about 45 degrees in relation to your spine. I was going to finish of the workout with some twerking, but I’ll leave that to @larryperreira ????⚫️?⚫️ #bellevue #police #kettebell #TGU #fitness #oahugrown #aiea #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

How old is the oldest person you know who trains #jiujitsu? I told Mari how many times the last video of hers was shared and she really appreciates being able to inspire people through her journey. One of the oldest practitioners in the country, Mari began training with the #womenempowered curriculum from @gracieuniversityhq at @nak2academy. She currently enjoys keeping the skills she learned sharp at @kindredjiujitsu and enjoys helping the newer students. At the end of class yesterday she demonstrated some punch defense from the bottom and initially didn’t think it was good enough to share. Feel free to let her know otherwise in the comments below! The women’s #selfdefense is a free class for women in our #community????⚫️?⚫️ #motivation #inspiration #police #selfdefense #outreach #aloha #worldclan #shoyoroll #makeadifference #aiea #fitness #tecnica #alavanca #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

I’m not good enough to be lumped together with them, but between the three of us, @larryperreira, Raph and I have been in law enforcement for 51 years & have about 80 years of martial arts experience. In our 40’s, we’re not done yet, but when we eventually leave who will step up and take our place? ???⚫️?⚫️?@venumofficial?? #bellevue #police #wearehiring ‬#boxing #muaythai #jiujitsu #taekwondo #marshallarts #waipahu #aiea #seattle #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

#headlock counter to handcuffing transition from our department’s Defensive Tactics curriculum via @gracieuniversityhq. Some of the best LE training in the ? occurs in our city.

If you are in need of some #motivation, watch this clip of my awesome coworker Raph, our department’s training coordinator! He led a spirited PT session this morning at our station and shared why he believes we all need to train hard ????⚫️?⚫️ #bellevue #police #fitness #workout #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom
