Law Enforcement & Security Defensive Tactics Program

Effective Ground Control and De-escalation Training

Professor Sergio Silva has been training law enforcement and security personnel in defensive tactics since he was a blue belt in Brazil in 1993. Our program is designed to help officers develop strategies to perform their jobs effectively and get back home safely.

​

We focus on de-escalation of confrontations, using "Verbal Judo" as part of the tactics. The physical techniques involve a combination of basic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu movement, wrestling, and Muay Thai clinching. This training is excellent for anyone who wants to learn self-defense and be able to protect their families.

Training for Departments and Individuals

Professor Silva has provided training for:

​

  • Law Enforcement Officers

  • SWAT and Special Forces in Brazil

  • Executive Protection Teams in the Bay Area

  • Security Companies

 

We offer private lessons and small group classes to help new and experienced officers with the best strategic plan to ensure they can clock out at the end of their watch.
