Why officers keep coming back
Skills fade without reps. One week shows you what a year could do.
- 01
Control without injury
Learn to close, clinch, and control a resisting subject without a strike. Fewer injuries for you and for them.
- 02
Confidence that de-escalates
When you trust your hands, you slow down, talk more, and reach for force less. That composure is trained, not wished for.
- 03
A room full of people who get it
Cops, firefighters, medics, and dispatchers training together, coached by black belts who have worn the badge.
From the ranks
Officers on what changed.
Starting No Belt Required was a little daunting, but it opened my eyes to how much I had overestimated my existing skills. I’ve now been training for three years and have seen significant improvement in my technique, confidence, and my ability to remain calm and composed under pressure. The program is accessible, affordable, and directly relevant to the situations we face in law enforcement.
“When I first saw what No Belt Required offered, I realized there were significant gaps in my skills, even after the training I received as a police officer. Having wrestled through high school and college, I immediately saw how applicable these techniques are on the street. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gives officers practical skills and confidence for situations where traditional academy training may fall short. Knowing BJJ can only help you. Not knowing it can put you at a serious disadvantage.”
Eric SlaybaughFirst Responder“No Belt Required is a great opportunity to improve your self defense skills while getting a great workout. The training teaches practical techniques, builds discipline, and gives you skills that can make a real difference both on and off the job.”
Isaiah McKennaOfficer · Tucson Police Department“The training is a great workout, but more importantly, it gives you practical techniques that can help keep you safe on the job. The more you train, the more confidence you develop in your ability to handle difficult situations.”
