Students line up, bow in (according to rank) and stand quietly and respectfully while the instructor teaches class. Depending on the lesson plan for the class, the class will begin with either the Jiu-Jitsu technique warm- ups, the History & Philosophy lesson or both. Then, following the lesson curriculum, the instructor will teach a technique and then pair the students up to drill the technique slowly and lightly. The instructor will walk around and monitor the class to ensure each student is performing the technique safely and correctly. This process continues for all techniques taught during the class. Once the class time and lesson plan are finished, students will line back up and bow out. There is no live, physical sparring during this class.

LAW ENFORCEMENT JIU-JITSU TRAINING

G.R.A.C.I.E. Law Enforcement Course

G.R.A.C.I.E™ is the defensive tactics and weapons retention course created by the legendary Royce Gracie, 3-Time Ultimate Fighting Champion. Royce earned his title by defeating his opponents using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, proving the effectiveness of leverage and technique over strength and size. Royce has incorporated these defensive tactics into a comprehensive training course specifically designed for law enforcement. Like many skills, defensive tactics are perishable, therefore the G.R.A.C.I.E™ program teaches simple and automatic, rapid yet smooth actions. The G.R.A.C.I.E™ program is the “only” defensive tactics program that truly gets officers to properly defend their weapons in any and all altercations. The G.R.A.C.I.E™ program has been used by the US Special Forces, DEA agents and many national and international police departments.

  • Current Defensive Tactical Programs available are ineffective and officers resort to using brute strength and sheer will power to overcome a suspect/criminal, resulting in potential loss of their weapon or serious injury to the officer.
