The Future of Instructor Certification
Police training has been stuck in the past for too long — outdated methods, inconsistent standards, and instructors with little more than a certificate to show for it. In this episode, I break down why I created the Jiu Jitsu Five-O Online Instructor Certification Course, how it sets a new standard for defensive tactics instructors, and why this program is unlike anything else out there.
I'll cover:
- The problems with traditional instructor schools
- How our course is raising the bar with a BJJ blue-belt minimum requirement
- What makes this certification different from anything offered in-person
- The benefits for officers, agencies, and the profession as a whole
If you’re serious about becoming the kind of instructor who can actually make an impact — this episode is for you.
