So tru

"TASER TASER TASER"

“STOP! POLICE!”

"I NEED BACK UP NOW!!!"

He didn't shoot the dog either...fail

He's not allowed to say "stop resisting" until he's standing on his throat.

Continuous self improvement is great in any profession. Always be ready.

It's totally worth it, Smith. Came out of industrial security, into educational (campus cop) It's especially useful for female officers, both on the job and personal security. I really wish I'd learned Ju Jitsu along with Taekwondo!

Sports bjj work as well ?

Yeah Dave is awesome and he is a very important member of the channel. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of Mike's or Dave's judo.

I've been in martial arts for 16+ years, an instructor for many years, and my husband is a deputy. The really interesting thing about self-defense, BJJ, or judo is that you only get the awareness of what will work in a real life situation by trying and working with many different people and forms. Go out and start taking classes. I have helped my husband refine different positions and skills he uses in the field or something he came across that didn't work quite right. You may get bored of classes early because the basics may seem too easy, but you really want to learn those basics to the point of becoming muscle memory and not need to think about how to perform the movement in stressful situations. Just like how Professor Dave highlighted the importance of one side positioning over another, you wouldn't typically become aware of that until you are put in that situation in a free roll.

As a wrestler i love cross training BJJ

I've seen so many videos where if just one cop knew basic grappling far less force could've been used. I would absolutely be fine with my tax dollars paying for cops to learn BJJ not just in a one off course but continuously throughout their career. They could even look towards the Army's combatant program and incorporate it into their evaluations.

I’m in the same path right I have a wrestling background and started BJJ and I’m currently in my process applying for the police academy. I have a family so I want to be able to protect my self and able to handle situations without escalating a situation to the extreme. And I think BJJ is a good start.

Chris Larson you’re too kind. I promise we’ll be back!

I've done that on IG Live before :)

Come on over man!

That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm very impressed with his physique.

Buffed? You mean like the top of his head is shiny? Because yeah it is.

@@Spazzycat14 Mike does have a high beam on his head!! Lol

@@Spazzycat14 haha, that buffed too

Hell yeah he is. Who's the guy in black?

Same, but this ain’t this kind of channel

Heathen Micaella sadly

Same.

@@heathenmicaella1429 are you sure? LOL

Freudianism.

Look for Tales of Valor coming out later this evening or tomorrow!

On the way!

Don't pick up bad habits or you will end up behind bars your self.. Epically In SA our Sheriff doesn't stand for corruption on his force. "Texas Assassin"

Yes that's a good potential technique video.

Great idea!

AM2 Rookie nothing on Ameri-dote

Toasty Waffles Yes! Absolutely best thing you can do for yourself.

BJJ is great if you're smaller

It's great but keep in mind bjj is on the ground. Only going to help with one opponent

I don't know if I'm late to this comment but hopefully this'll be some help. First off id like to say thank you for wanting to serve as a CO, its a very stressful environment to work in and i would know because I'm a prior correctional officer. Taken BJJ myself I can tell you for certain that YES BJJ will help you as a CO whenever you have a use of force with an inmate. BJJ is actually made for a smaller individual to have a fighting chance with a larger individual and that'll lead me to the next thing I want to say about being a CO. Your size does not matter in your everyday job. It's how you treat someone. Be firm, fair and consistent. You'll hear that a lot. Not only that the job is about respect mostly. Treat someone with respect and the same will be given to you....in most cases. Others you wont be able to control what happens. I can make a rant about this all day but some bullet points to keep in mind that would have helped me in the beginning when I started. 1. Take BJJ and train for worse case scenario. 2.treat everyone with respect. 3. Be firm when needed. 4. Treat everyone fairly and enforce the same standards for everyone. 5. Finally be consistent everyday. If you're wish wash and uncertain, or if you enforce the rules one day and the next day you don't it'll make your job a lot harder and both inmates and officer won't take you seriously. Hopefully this helps maybe another CO with plenty of years under their belt can chime In and share their knowledge. Good luck out there and remember leave work at the gate at the end of the day.

Robert Evans damn that’s great advice and what I hear from the academy and the instructors. I’m not sure how I’ll make out, even though I am working a minimum facility, it still is honestly horrifying to think of telling 100 grown men how to live, and I’m 22 and look 17. The respect is honestly going to be the hardest part, because if you don’t correct issues they will get worse from what I hear, and if I’m soft on one Inmate they will all take advantage

I train there regularly and can confirm

Yeah, when this first came up, I completely misread the title and thought, "Did someone change my recommendations to adult?"

It's in the mail!

RCBJJ International Association I would say that you either control the person or you call for backup. This guy couldn’t do either

Blk Stang Hahahaha. Well played!

AlphaDawg Jiu Jitsu cop on Instagram!

DachshundsRule absolutely! Contact a legitimate Jiu Jitsu gym and they will help you out! Jiu Jitsu is for everyone

BJJ was adapted from Judo/Jiu-Jitsu to better capitalize on leverage and size. Tons of info online.

Hey Stan, this was FAR from Monday morning quarterbacking. It was simply a reference and we offer a solid set of principles to address a common scenario. Also, watch the entirety of the video we have clipped. There are several moments where the tug of war reference is happening. It's undeniable. I'm not here to Monday morning QB, I'm just offering principles that can help cops in similar situations. I'm not perfect. I don't claim to be. I'm learning and so should all cops. We aren't training for the "impossible" but for the common. Also, I address the issue of one hand vs. two in the video, which you are ignoring :)

@@mikethecop Mike, I appreciate the time and effort that you put in making these videos. The cop already lost control of the situation when the video started. You demonstrated techniques that would help avoid that from happening. Myself, I would have handled 4-5 things different from what he did, as would you. Keep up the good work. PS - Pay your intern better before he starts to work for Bernie on the side. ;-)

Stan S the problem is that cop, like most, are only taught to grab people by the arms to try and take them down. If you can do it than that is ideal but they were never taught what to do if that doesn’t work. Those techniques work ok when someone is not really fighting you or trying hard to get away. When that’s the case cops need some basic judo or wrestling take downs.

Self-taught is tough. However, you have some options: first, you could go to a Gracie Survival Tactics for cops somewhere and get certified to teach what you've learned to your department. Second, you could do an online version of that and train with others in your department.

@@mikethecop I've been looking at attending a ground survival training but the time to attend is an issue with leave. Still looking into it though. I have also recently purchased the Gracie Combatives DVDs and I've been talking about training with people from my Dept. Once again, time is an issue. We all usually pull 20 to 30hrs of OT per paid period. What should I focus on for the time being until a more established routine is set? And thanks for the reply!! Huge fan of your work.

You just gotta make the comment to yourself to make the time. You can learn a lot with a good dedicated training partner. That program is set up really well in that it establishes the fundamentals that you can build off of later. The biggest thing is exactly that, getting time on the mat learning fundamentals.

@@matthewm7109 Thanks for the advice. I know it's needed so I'm going to keep at finding outlets to train.

Tyler Goodrich I’m not a fan of arm drags on the street.

Sigh..............go back to the situation we are discussing :)

R Fletcher really? As a paramedic?? Mind if I ask for examples?

Don Cuyson simple escapes, when patients are elderly or under the influence they grab on to me while in the truck, simple breaking their grips.

Abe Javadi an arm drag is a dangerous game off the mat. No way that would ever be my go to! U silly.

@@Dajo95 I didn't say it was my go to. But I've used it! It helps if they're trying to push you.
