Law Enforcement & Security Defensive Tactics Program
Effective Ground Control and De-escalation Training
Professor Sergio Silva has been training law enforcement and security personnel in defensive tactics since he was a blue belt in Brazil in 1993. Our program is designed to help officers develop strategies to perform their jobs effectively and get back home safely.
We focus on de-escalation of confrontations, using "Verbal Judo" as part of the tactics. The physical techniques involve a combination of basic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu movement, wrestling, and Muay Thai clinching. This training is excellent for anyone who wants to learn self-defense and be able to protect their families.
