Panel Discussion
Revolutionizing Police Training: The Impact of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Friday, July 24th, 2026
1:30-3:00 PM PT
Learn how forward-thinking agencies are leveraging BJJ to reduce liability, enhance officer safety and resilience, and support de-escalation.
What if the most effective use-of-force tool available to your agency isn't part of your current tactical training at all?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is changing how forward-thinking law enforcement agencies approach subject control, officer safety, and use-of-force liability. The data is compelling. The operational case is real. And the agencies implementing it are seeing results that go well beyond the mat.
Join Dr. Erik Fritsvold and a panel of law enforcement leaders who are all BJJ practitioners for a candid look at what BJJ actually delivers, and what it takes to bring it to your agency.
What You Will Learn:
The liability case:
How BJJ reduces TASER deployment, injuries during arrests, exposure to escalation claims, and how it can improve community perception.
The tactical edge:
How BJJ's leverage-based approach mitigates size and strength disparities.
The executive roadmap:
How agency leaders can budget for training, overcome implementation obstacles, and manage risk.
The wellness dividend:
The impact of BJJ on mental acuity and stress resilience on and off the job.
