7 #pullups with the #gi before work. Shooting for 10 by the end of summer. Gear + kettlebell = about 60lbs. Day by day ???⚫️?⚫️? #bellevue #police #jiujitsu #oldman #grip #oahugrown #aiea #fitness #trainweeklyorfightweakly #bjj #protectbellevuedotcom

Saw @gabe.annan shredding at the bowl today. A student at Lake Washington Tech, aspiring photographer and director, he #longboards but said he has only been skating short boards for 10 days! We dropped in and he took a pretty good slam going into the deep end. But like a typical skater, he got up, dusted himself off and got it on the next run. I shared the video of my slam on the 9’ quarterpipe at the @bellevueskatepark with him and we both had a good laugh. And for those who are wondering, our holsters have multiple retentions and the HK USP (my firearm) has two internal safeties so a round being discharged from impact is not possible???⚫️?⚫️?@Israelalvarez247 #bellevue #police #skateboarding #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #hallofmeat #oahugrown #aiea #skatelikeacop #protectbellevuedotcom #crossroadsbowl

#respect to @_jaycha_ and @memarie95 for coming in to train on their days off. Both women patrol their respective communities while most of their cities are asleep. We incorporated some of our gear and reviewed a gun-out #weaponretention called GWRAPS that I learned from Sgt. @dongulla in his outstanding #arrestling course. GWRAPS is part of many department’s curriculum, including ours and SPD’s and is also taught by @renergracie @ryrongracie in the #graciesurvivaltactics course at @gracieuniversityhq. We finished with some handcuffing transitions I learned last week at #seattle PD’s #defensivetactics instructor course. We review material from various DT courses each week.

#kneeonbelly transitions before work, #tabata protocol (20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest x 8). The weight of the gear really adds up by the end. Day by day ??⚫️?⚫️?? #bellevue #police #jiujitsu #fitness #oldman #trainweeklyorfightweakly #bjj #workout #oahugrown #aiea #protectbellevuedotcom

The @bellevueskatepark #skate camp is going down in about a week so I’m putting in a little extra work on my #ollie. The boots and 20-something pounds of gear doesn’t help, but it makes for a better lower body #workout.

Three weeks ago we connected Jayden and his mom to coach @oathermark and he told them about the #eastsidepugs nonprofit boxing program at @ring_sports_united. The guidelines and expectations were explained and Jayden said he wanted to train and was willing to put in the effort to earn his membership. Over the past two years I’ve taken almost 40 teens to the gym to see if they wanted to take advantage of this awesome opportunity. Many initially say they are interested, but the majority never follow through. I am happy to say that Jayden has been showing up to train almost every day and seems to really enjoy it. I got to hold mitts for him and had to keep reminding myself that he’s only 14. Feel free to leave him some words of encouragement! Stay tuned ???⚫️?⚫️ #bellevue #police #boxing #sisepuede #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #hope #fitness #oahugrown #aiea #protectbellevuedotcom

Trying my best to keep up with my awesome #coworker, officer Larry Perreira. With more than 20 years of LE work and training in various disciplines of combat sports under his belt, he’s one of those people who’s really good at everything, including his equally amazing stand up and ground game. Larry makes every roll fun, challenging, and safe. Even though we’re the same age, went to high school a few miles apart from each other, and briefly overlapped our careers at the @honolulupd, I never met him until I moved up to WA and started working for Bellevue. Great officer, and an even better human being. #grateful that he’s a part of our team ???⚫️?⚫️?**my boots were cleaned/disinfected before I stepped on the mats ?? #fbf #bellevue #police #jiujitsu #oahugrown #waipahu #aiea #fitness #rolemodel #mentor #trainweeklyorfightweakly #oldman #servingandprotectingwithalohainwa #protectbellevuedotcom

About once a month I try to complete a few #HIIT rounds in full uniform (usually on my Friday towards the end of the shift or on a day off). I used only the #battleropes and followed the #tabata protocol for three, 4 minute rounds. I want to experience how the extra weight of the gear affects my ability to move, and I’d rather find out my limitations in training before it really matters ???⚫️?⚫️? #bellevue #police #fitness #workout #trainweeklyorfightweakly #oldman #oahugrown #aiea #thatSLOWgrind #protectbellevuedotcom

My friend @adam_spade_26 helping me practice a #headlock counter to handcuffing transition from the curriculum at @gracieuniversityhq. In addition to not being flexible, the belt and vest greatly inhibit torso flexion too. Hopefully the practice will help keep me prepared at work. Like skating, doing #jiujitsu with boots feels different too and takes some getting used to. **Of course they were thoroughly disinfected/cleaned before stepping on the mats** ???⚫️?⚫️???#bellevue #police #graciecombatives #graciesurvivaltactics #selfdefense #fitness #outreach #aloha #oahugrown #aiea #bjj #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

I recently had the great fortune of being able to speak with 8th degree red/black belt “professor” @pedro_sauer_ at the end of one of his seminars. I asked him why he thought #jiujitsu practitioners would be good potential candidates for a career in #lawenforcement.
