Police training has been stuck in the past for too long — outdated methods, inconsistent standards, and instructors with little more than a certificate to show for it. In this episode, I break down why I created the Jiu Jitsu Five-O Online Instructor Certification Course, how it sets a new standard for defensive tactics instructors, and why this program is unlike anything else out there.

I'll cover:

• The problems with traditional instructor schools
• How our course is raising the bar with a BJJ blue-belt minimum requirement
• What makes this certification different from anything offered in-person
• The benefits for officers, agencies, and the profession as a whole

If you’re serious about becoming the kind of instructor who can actually make an impact — this episode is for you.

If your Jiu Jitsu feels stuck, it’s probably your fault. In this episode, I break down the top reasons people struggle on the mats, from skipping training and avoiding tough rolls to having zero game plan and blaming cardio for everything. Whether you're a cop trying to sharpen your skills or just someone tired of getting smashed every round, this episode will help you identify what’s holding you back — and how to fix it.

Traditional police defensive tactics training has some serious gaps—and anyone who’s worked the street knows it. In this episode, I’m breaking down five key problems that leave officers underprepared when things get real.

We’ll talk about unrealistic techniques, minimal training hours, and why teaching to the lowest common denominator does everyone a disservice. I also cover ways that we can help solve these issues.

In this episode:

• Why “checking the box” isn’t real training
• How rehearsed techniques fall apart under pressure
• The problem with one-size-fits-all instruction
• Why instructor experience matters
• Steps toward better, practical training

Tune in and let’s talk about changing the game.
