	G.R.A.P.L.E. GROUND SURVIVAL TACTICS $140 per Attendee

Who:	Commissioned Officers

What:	It is inevitable that a law enforcement officer will frequently find him or herself in a close quarter situation. Being in close proximity with combative and murderous suspects, gives those suspects the opportunity to ambush and take the officer to the ground. Once attacked and taken to the ground, it is imperative that the officer learn how to prevail in order to survive. This 16-hour course utilizes the Gracie Combatives for Law Enforcement which emphasizes leverage and technique over athleticism and strength. The techniques and strategies enable the officer to prevail even after they have been ambushed, forcibly taken to the ground, and attacked. All instructors are Certified Police Instructors and Certified Gracie Combatives instructors directly certified by the Gracie Academy.
