This one of the most shocking videos of assault we’ve ever seen.

On November 7, 2024, D’Andre Johnson arrives at a the Department of Child Safety in Mesa, Arizona, to meet with a DCS government employee about his open case involving his children, and he streams the entire meeting on facebook. 

At the end of the hour-long meeting, they stand up, and after a fist bump, he puts the case-worker into a standing Rear Naked Choke and holds the choke for nearly two minutes. 

Throughout this time many people called police and you can hear other people attempting to intervene verbally but no-one took physical action. 

Thankfully the victim survived but doctors stated that his injuries were nearly fatal.

If anyone has a connection to the Arizona Department of Child Safety, please connect them with Gracie University so we can sponsor their instructors to attend the upcoming 2-day SafeWrap Instructor Certification Program on March 25-25, 2025, hosted by the Los Angeles Police Dept and taught by Rener and Ryron Gracie.

Police Officers in the UK struggled to take down a subject so they started beating him with their collapsable steel batons, but he hardly flinched.

If anyone has a relationship with the command staff at the Metropolitan Police Service (or any other agencies in the UK), please contact Gracie University so that we can certify their instructors in the SafeWrap system.

Cop wants the subject’s hands behind his back, so he punches him in the head. Subject is blocking the punches, so he can’t put his hands behind his back. Cop is frustrated so he punches harder…and the cycle continues.

Eventually the person recording says the most logical thing of all time: “You gotta stop punching him first!”

It’s sad that the civilian bystander had to be the voice of reason in this case, but it doesn’t have to be this way. 

SafeWrap aims to create safer and more effective outcomes in multiple-officer arrest encounters. Learn more about instructor certification at http://www.SafeWrapSystem.com

SafeWrap is a proprietary system of lateral restraint by which two people can effectively and safely subdue an aggressive, suicidal, or emotionally disturbed person for an extended period of time while greatly reducing the risks of injury to all parties involved.

The system is effective enough for law enforcement use and safe enough for healthcare applications, as it utilizes zero joint locks or choke holds; the system is designed to avoid compression on the diaphragm, facilitating breathing and greatly reducing the potential of a panicked response by the person being restrained.

The SafeWrap system was originally designed for healthcare and law enforcement professionals, but it was so effective that it quickly became clear that it had the potential to save lives in every sector. From first responders to security guards to educators to retail workers, any organization that requires its employees to interact with civilians would benefit from having its staff members certified in the SafeWrap System.

SafeWrap is patent pending worldwide, and in order to ensure that the life-saving characteristics of the system are effectively upheld by all certified instructors, the system requires a license for institutional use.

Ryron and Rener traveled to Ohio to present the SafeWrap™ system the Department of Public Safety. This is the first time the system has been presented to leaders at all the essential public safety sectors in a State at the same time: Highway Patrol, EMS, Fire, Corrections, School Safety, Healthcare/Hospitals, and Local Police/Sheriff Departments.

We look forward to the day when all law enforcement officers, all first responders, and all healthcare professionals speak the same language when it comes to the safe and effective restraint of aggressive, suicidal, or emotionally disturbed individuals. Lives will be saved.

The class started with four of the officers in attendance trying to take Rener into custody using conventional prone restraint, and based on the outcome, the need for a safer and more effective alternative has never been so clear.

This was WILD! In our Gracie Survival Tactics (GST) program for law enforcement we actually teach several submission counters (Guillotine Counters, Triangle Counters, RNC Counters, etc.) in case an officer ever finds themselves in an altercation against a suspect who has some BJJ or MMA training.

Last Sunday, August 18, at 2am, Louisville Metro PD Officer Mason Barnes put his GST to work when he found himself in a ground fight against an armed suspect. Instead of panicking, Officer Barnes was able to remain in control from the bottom of the fight, and use the “Triangle Set-up” position that we teach in GST to neutralize the attack and retain control of the suspect’s gun-side arm until help arrived.

We’re very proud of Officer Barnes and have extended an invitation to sponsor him to any upcoming GST course where he can learn the SafeWrap system.

On June 30, 2024, D’Vontaye Mitchell was causing a disturbance at a Hyatt Regency Hotel in Milwaukee. Four hotel employees intervened (2 security guards, one receptionist, and one bellman) and after dragging him outside they held him in prone restraint for approximately eight minutes before he died due to “Restraint asphyxia and the toxic effects of cocaine and methamphetamine,” according to the medical examiner.

Preventing tragedies like these is exactly why we created the SafeWrap lateral restraint system.

If anyone has contacts at the Hyatt Regency Hotel Group, please have them contact Gracie University. We would like to sponsor their workplace violence prevention coordinators to receive SafeWrap instructor certifications so that all Hyatt employees can learn the system.

SafeWrap enables users to restrain aggressive, suicidal, or emotionally disturbed individuals without the use of joint locks or choke holds and the entire system was designed to avoid compression of lungs so the restrained individual can breathe freely, reducing the chance of a panic response and increasing the chance of a safe outcome for all involved.

We invented the safest AND most effective method of 2-on-1 restraint and it’s called the SafeWrap. To put it to the test we went to Santa Monica, California, and offered $1,000 cash to anyone who could escape.

The SafeWrap system was create to help everyone from law enforcement officers to healthcare workers and everyone in between. Any institution that requires its staff members to interact with the public would benefit from certifying its staff in the SafeWrap system, and once all staff members are SafeWrap certified, any two team members are empowered to handle a crisis with confidence, clear communication, composure, and care.

It took five NYPD cops several minutes to arrest me with conventional prone restraint. It was so chaotic that they didn’t even realize I had a knife (even after I pulled it out and started stabbing people).

Conversely, it only took me and and Tom a minute to deplete our subject’s will to fight using the SafeWrap System, and even though we let him stash the knife during his attempt, at no point was he able to access it or use it. We used no joint locks, no chokes, no pressure points, no chest compression and we were talking to him the entire time.

Historically, law enforcement officers have always rushed to pronate the subject during a multiple-officer arrest, but we now know that prone restraint is problem, not the solution.

Listen to what the top NYPD instructors had to say after only two hours of SafeWrap training.

Imagine what different world it would be if every first responder spoke the SafeWrap language such that any two people could interact with one another to safely and effectively restrain an aggressive, suicidal or emotionally disturbed person.

We need the leaders to realize that it’s time for a change.

If you agree, please share this video and let’s save some lives.

The SafeWrap System is Patent Pending Worldwide and cannot be used or taught without a license. To obtain a license one must first complete the SafeWrap Instructor Certification Program.

Join us for the inaugural SafeWrap Instructor Certification Program October 7-8, 2024, at Gracie University HQ in Torrance, California.
