bjj as an officer?

[JR1572]

A friends brother teaches BJJ. Has a gym in the New Orleans area but I don't know the website.

From what I understand he is quite experienced and has taught all around the world.

Myron Gaudet is his name.

He's one of the best fighters I've ever had the pleasure to fight along side with...

Okay I'll loan some testicles to the conversation and say whats being implied.

If you think for a second that your skills in the air conditioned gym on your comfy mat will directly translate to taking down an officer on the street, you are delusional.

Until you've successfully endured a bjj "match" after being pepper sprayed and smacked with a maglite or baton a few times, you aren't comparing apples to apples.

Here's how I envision it going down: bjj guy threatens to get physical a few moments before a taser puts two holes in his affliction shirt being worn 2-sizes too small. After a few seconds of juice he gets the option of hands behind his back or another zap.

His bjj training might certainly help him once he's in jail though.

Tasers dont work on everyone. Im a prime example. It stings, but isnt anything i cant fight through, same with OC, it just doesnt affect me too much. Too many trips through the gas chamber i guess...lol.

+1 for Myron. He's a great guy, and an out if the box thinker. Just remember, there is always going to be someone out there better than you, but that doesnt mean you are going to lose. Your brain is the best weapon you have.

My apologies for not reading the entire thread, but I'll bet many will agree with my position . I taught hand to hand at the Secret Service academy as one of my assignments during a 28 year career. We had the Gracies out of Ventura visit and train with us. The final decision as to whether the SS should incorporate more ground fighting in the required curriculum came to this....... It is easier to maintain your weapon while fighting on your feet..... Ground training is important to your mental state of mind in that you won't feel like your losing when/if you do go down....Know how to fight your way up and off the ground..... Just my two cents on the subject.
