Rener Gracie managed to direct a great deal of attention towards the success of a BJJ training program conducted for Marietta Police Department in Georgia recently. The program was conducted over two years and they managed to report measurable improvements to outcomes both for officers involved and the public that they interacted with, lending credence to Rener’s recent push for national police reform.
According to the numbers they’ve released, the program managed to show a significant reduction in the officer’s use of a taser, the officer’s incidents where force was used, and the actual number of use-of-force injuries to suspects.
