Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be an important tool as we look to improve the quality of coaching and content our law enforcement professionals receive.


However, we must also use our experience in both, tactical law enforcement and the sport of BJJ, to evaluate and teach the skills that are tactically sound, fundamentally solid, and legally defensible in our profession.


In this video we discuss three considerations we must apply as we adapt BJJ for law enforcement:


- Weapon Retention

- Control to Handcuffing Process

- Ability to disengage and respond to tactically changing environment
