Jiu Jitsu Five-O // Police department Training Overview

Your Department's Personal Use-of-Force Trainer

We don't just show up to put on a single course, hand out paper certificates and then disappear until it's time to "recertify." Our agency program includes 24/7 coaching and consulting, where we can help structure your in-service training, write lesson plans, break down body cam footage, create custom training videos and answer technique questions from your officers.

A Curriculum of Realistic Control & Defense Techniques That Actually Work

Our curriculum was created from our years of experience on the street and on the mats. It's based on our Jiu Jitsu Five-O Fight Formula; Takedown, establish a dominant position, control, cuff. We'll show your officers exactly how to do this, whether they're trying to make an arrest or defend themselves from common attacks.

Retain What You Learn With Our Online Technique Library

We ensure that your officers retain what they learned by giving them unlimited annual access to our online curriculum, which features detailed videos of every technique we teach. We can also create custom technique videos based on your agency's needs.

Ongoing Jiu Jitsu Training Classes (Optional)

Consistency equals proficiency. We can work with your agency to teach a monthly training course, either in person or remote, so that your officers and instructors continue training and improving the foundational skills they learned during the certification course.

As our partner, your department will receive:

Private Certification Course for Unlimited Number of Your Instructors
