Why the Gentle Way?
Police in America are trained with a focus on firearms. Sometimes this has tragic consequences. We can do better. Once graduated from the Academy, our police are often left with few resources for defensive tactics and de-escalation. We want to support our Law enforcement with a broader spectrum of options and capabilities to de-escalate, control, and prevent tragic situations.

Jiu-jitsu is a Japanese word that means the gentle art. It is an extremely effective and systematic approach to gently controlling and de-escalating violent and dangerous situations. We want to maximize the opportunity of our law enforcement to prevent harm and avoid tragedy in our communities. Jiu-jitsu is the most effective tool for this.
