Why Every Cops Need More Jiu-Jitsu

[@southernweather25]

This is so refreshing and so needed.

[@RogerKnowsTech]

As a sworn LEO over 15 years with two agencies, I think this is 100% the way to go. HOWEVER, leadership at the top level, Mayors, Governors and state Congress will have to recognize its importance and lobby for this idea first. If you the public want better trained officers then you need to ask your local congressman for exactly that. The defunding of the police won’t help, it’s the more funding for training and officers to relieve the ones being trained at that moment which will stop poorly trained officers from making mistakes. I have seen so many officers needing to work off duty jobs just to make ends meet. So the time they have off from duty will never be enough for them to train themselves. You need on the job training for on the job use of force expectations. I have seen one agency really lead the way on this (Marietta Police Department, GA) and I am praying others will soon. I believe the average agency trains twice a year in DT, firearms and use of force. Thanks to the Gracie Academy for pushing this out! Maybe this will gain some support! We need it!

[@TheAngelicRider]

Sounds good but what’s needed is a change in mental discipline and policing culture. Dereck knew Jiu Jitsu and still did what he did. I mean what’s the purpose in knowing how to defend yourself if you still can’t defend yourself from yourself? I say great. Learn Jiu Jitsu. Hopefully it humbles a good amount of individuals. But the problem will remain.

[@josecantutv5584]

I actually used the hidden arm technique and it worked 💯 every officer needs to learn this for their own safety and the the safety of the public. Gracie Jiu-jitsu for Life 🤙

[@mariotamez3525]

The lack of understanding from command staff about jujutsu is a hurdle my department hasn’t been able to get over. Multiple times over the past 15 years officers have tried to introduce it, only to be turned down for one excuse or an other.

[@ledubois6]

That's so disappointing.

[@iJohannes]

Allan is one of the best instructors I've ever had the pleasure to learn from. He's helped many officers and is as nice as they come. I know Rickson and Pedro Sauer are proud of him.

[@GuidoPerdomo]

I think is very important to point out, and a bit sad that it wasn't, that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu was designed especially to work for ANYONE, meaning one normal person can dominate another of superior physical strength or size. I found this out first hand and I couldn't believe it.

[@ledubois6]

I agree. The reporters definitely were missing some aspects to it

[@romeoromero808]

Hell yeah!! This is so huge!! Way to go 🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@deadreckoning4132]

Been a cop for about 15 years. Trained BJJ for years. Hold a blue belt but could be a purple belt if I had the opportunity to train more. However, due to the demands of the job, it's hard to make it to training even 2 days a week. Having said that, I've used it many times on the job to make arrests that would have been difficult had I not had that training. Very big advocate. If anybody has ever wondered why more cops don't train, let me tell you a situation I got into. I'd been training about 3 years at the time and I tore my rotator cuff. My place of employment made it absolutely clear that that was not work related and if it put me out of work due to training, that would be on me. As you know, injuries are common in BJJ even when you train safe. If you train hard, they're going to happen and if you get hurt in training, you're out of a job without workman's comp. To add to that, a police officer we'll work the majority of his career on evening shift or night shift and usually has court about three times a week. That makes getting to training extremely difficult. Once again, I'm an advocate and encourage police officers to train. However, it gets hard sometimes.

[@ledubois6]

Very happy to see this. I wish the reporters described it as a Gracie Jiu Jitsu gym and explained that it's not just this 1 guy doing random techniques, but an entire organized system with schools nationwide.

[@iRA_mkb]

Every perp should learn BJJ

[@daniavi1358]

Great, great, great!!!!!

[@fazjewls14]

This is what I’ve been saying for the past 5yrs!!! Cops need to learn BJJ or any MA training

[@marconjakecanonoy]

Wow I can't believe how ignorant a lot of people not knowing about jiujitsu and these news casters just prove it.

[@psyience3213]

Cool but how is this not a copyright infringement

[@808frontline]

I honestly think it should be absolutely mandatory for all officers, correction officers and military personnel to do either Judo or BJJ. It would truly make an unstoppable force as far as hand to hand

[@jogee9348]

I have recently started Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, I love it, but can only go 1-2 times a week because of my public safety schedule. If you guys are really concerned with public safety uses of force, then make your affiliated gyms create a schedule that is pro-public safety. I will 100% agree that all public safety should be trained in this, but we can’t really advance if we can’t go more!!!!

[@TechOutAdam]

Dude was mic'd up like a goth kid man lol

[@uncle_martin1131]

The instructor's surname is the funniest thing I've heard! "Manganello" is the italian word for "baton"...quite a suiting surname for a police officer.

[@PokePr0]

I live in that city and know where that gym is

[@Pfsif]

Every cop needs to be held accountable.

[@justin1977100]

My 15 yr old boy got stabbed 9 times on Saturday trying to make peace between a bunch of kids. Beef he was not involved in. I have a video of the incident if y’all want to use it to break it down. He is a white belt and we could learn all we can from this. Thanx

[@marconjakecanonoy]

Oh well now the cat is out of the bag

[@cutwir3317]

Should make it a law or else you cannot become a police officer. Way to many senseless violence especially here in Chicago.

[@JohnnyJitsu11]

Bamm!!!!

[@wgalloPT]

Attention everyone. I love this guys, but this "commune" free course is actually a catch to get people into paying for classes. 10 free days/classes is a bunch of commercial for the classes. I actually feel fooled by them, and it makes me feel like looking for other business, as i didnt expect this from those two.

[@mangosaurusrex3416]

Firstly, ACAB but if this means less police shootings/killings then I’m all for it

[@pariah5473]

Can you please address the bs lies you spewed on the Kimura vs gracie video?

[@LuisZapataGonzalez]

Why *people* need more jiu jitsu

[@Vikdecap22]

Cops don’t need bjj they have guns

[@nemtizz]

Pieces of shit will still be pieces of shit, but with better technique

[@KushDragon420]

I refuse to teach bullies how to hurt people. I thought gracie academy was the same. I guess i was wrong.

[@oskar3828]

I mean cops would literally probably be more likely to get in trouble for hurting people if they knew jiu jitsu, cos they would know how to handle the situation without hurting anyone, and most cops don't want to hurt ppl anyway

[@ledubois6]

I'd rather give a bully put me in a grappling technique learned through a trusted Gracie BJJ system than shoot me!! Have you seen Rener's video on this topic? 'Should bad cops learn jiu jitsu?" Search it up, but he basically makes the point that even a bad cop who knows jiu jitsu will be safer for everyone.

[@ledubois6]

@@oskar3828 don't you mean less likely?

[@oskar3828]

@@ledubois6 What I mean is, of they know you jitsu, and still hurt somebody, they might be more likely to get in more trouble, as they knew how to handle it without hurting someone

[@KushDragon420]

@@ledubois6 ya i have and i think hes deleuded himself into thinking that all cops are essentially good people. Hes assuming that the discipline that comes with learning jui jistu will make them better people. He is wrong. That is so naive its frankly embarrassing. Not all police are bullies, but the ones are, dont come put and say it and since we are discussing bad cops i can tell flat put, anybody who would beat an unarmed man who is already down , especially in these 3 on 1 scenarios that make these officers "bad", isnt going to "safer" for anyone after learning jui jistsu. They will just cause much more servere injuries to their victems. By their nature, bad cops are men, with power, who domt care if tjey hurt others as long as rhey stay in charge. Thats literally what makes them bad. They abuse their power. What logic is it to think teaching men like that to more efficiently hurt people is going to help anyone?

[@TheAngelicRider]

Didn’t Dereck know Jiu Jitsu? Knowing the art won’t be enough. The culture behind policing has to change.

[@oskar3828]

yh but he is built different

[@TheAngelicRider]

@@oskar3828 Yes! Your point piggy backs off of mine. Where my concern is that even though he knew Jiu Jitsu it did not stop him from murdering Floyd. The reason that made him murder Floyd, and other cops who do the same is not just lack of training but something deeper. What else contributes to their foundation as police? What makes them into worse criminals/monsters than those they are supposedly after?

[@SoldierDrew]

@@TheAngelicRider Floyd died from an overdose of various narcotics and illegal drugs in his system while they were waiting for an ambulance to arrive. I've had bigger cops than Derrick kneel on my neck and I'm smaller than Floyd and as long as they didn't kneel on my chest cavity I was able to breath unrestricted. My neck took months to turn without hearing crunching sounds though. Kneeling on the neck, used to pin livestock, is common among LEOs but illegal in many departments for risk of mechanical injury to the neck. The cop used excessive force kneeling on the neck but having been the victim of LEOs kneeling on my neck a few times I can attest that it doesn't restrict breathing. And the M.E. report confirmed that Floyd died of drug overdose. He was a drug addict working in porn to fuel his drug addiction after serving time for home invasion & torturing a pregnant mother resulting in her losing her baby. The public gave him a heros funeral with a huge gathering during COVID19 pandemic meanwhile other families were forbidden to have a service or wake for their deceased love ones. Some of whom were decorated WW2, Korean and Vietnam war veterans whom were denied a military funeral detail due to COVID19. But a guy who held a pregnant mother hostage, killed her baby then overdosed on illegal drugs while in custody while an ambulance was in route gets a hero's funeral with a large gathering during COVID19? I know for fact cops use excessive force and even murder compliant unarmed citizens because I've been a victim of excessive force more than once but Floyd wasn't murdered while ambulance was enroute. He killed himself with a drug overdose and died while ambulance was enroute.

[@TheAngelicRider]

@@SoldierDrew So you're saying that if someone with intent to murder can kneel on your neck and nothing would happen to you but a few kinks? You're comparing practice with intentional aggression?
