Band Aid

If you don’t train regularly, you can’t defend yourself. It doesn’t matter what the Gracies or the karate guy down the street say, one day or one week of training is basically worthless. When you take a one-day workshop, you are basically just putting a band aid on a sword wound. The Gracie Combatives program for cops is the same thing. I have a student who just went through their program, not only does he not feel qualified to teach all of the things they crammed in after 4 years of training, but there are people who have no prior experience that are now going back to their departments trying to teach these things to other cops. People may not like me, but at least I’m honest about what I actually think you can do with the knowledge you get from me.
