Many police officers believe that they
don't need to learn self-defense because they can rely on their
firearms, pepper spray or Tasers if attacked. Any police officer who
believes this is overlooking two critical points: 1) most of the time
attacks are so sudden that you don't have time or space to respond with
a weapon, and 2) there is always a chance that the weapon malfunctions
or does not perform as advertised. We recently found some three
shocking police video clips in which police officers are caught totally
off guard, or their weapons malfunction, and we compiled them into one
video so you can see how unpredictable their world truly is. The
incidences are violent and may not be suitable for children.

Upcoming Police Instructor Certification Course Dates
During
the 5-day GCMLE (Gracie Combatives for Military and Law Enforcement)
course the objective is two-fold. First, to teach the participants the
most important Gracie Combatives techniques aimed at preparing them for
the worst case scenarios they are likely to encounter while on duty.
Second, to teach the participants the intricacies of the unique Gracie
teaching method, called Dynamic Reflex Development, so they can return
to their units/departments and effectively pass on the skills they
acquire to their colleagues.
You must be of active military or law enforcement status to participate.
