The Gracie family’s connections to law enforcement in the US aren’t exactly new, but they just became a lot more official. Official Gracie BJJ websites offer whole sections on training for law enforcement, including online courses, certification, and other tools to help create and maintain a relationship between law enforcement officers and the Gracie brand of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
So perhaps it’s only natural that one of the Gracie clan’s most notable representatives, former 3x UFC tournament champion and hall of famer Royce Gracie, would take the next step and actually join the force. Well, more or less.
