Core Mechanics

Jiu-Jitsu Foundations Adapted Around Your Responsibilities

Regular practice develops movement, balance, frames, escapes, pressure management, and positional control. Tactical Longevity gives officers and first responders a clear way to connect those skills to composure, standing recovery, environmental awareness, and responsible decision-making.

Composure Under Contact

Practice breathing, base, frames, posture, and positional problem-solving while a partner provides appropriate resistance.

Strength That Transfers

Develop grip, trunk, hip, and pulling strength through a practice that also challenges mobility and coordination.

Sustainable Capability

Build a training rhythm that supports long-term movement, confidence, stress relief, and physical readiness.

Curriculum Overview

What Regular Training Develops

Standing Recovery

Create a stable base, regain your feet, and move with control.

Positional Control

Use your posture and frames instead of unnecessary effort.

Escapes

Solve inferior positions while protecting posture, balance, and breathing.

Clinch Awareness

Manage grips, alignment, pressure, and distance during close contact.

Controlled Takedowns

Practice balance disruption and controlled finishes under coach supervision.

Decision-Making

Recognize when to stabilize, transition, reset, disengage, or ask for assistance under resistance.

Evidence

Why Agencies Explore Consistent Grappling Practice

Departments explore regular grappling practice because it gives officers repeated opportunities to improve balance and positional control under resistance.

Marietta Police Department

Marietta Police Department found that officers participating in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training saw a 48% reduction in officer injuries during use-of-force incidents. They also reported a 53% reduction in injuries to suspects and a 23% drop in Taser use in 2020.
