Warning: this is a long read and NOT a political post just how jiu jitsu could have helped.

Jiu Jitsu is commonly known as the “gentle art.” I used to think that was just a fun saying because anyone who has trained for a long period of time knows how hard it can be on the body. However, over the years, I’ve discovered there are many other aspects to this. To me, being gentle also means being calm in the midst of chaos. It means treating others with kindness and respect. It means being kind to yourself and being able to admit your own faults and insecurities.

You would think training and learning to fight would teach you to be the opposite of gentle. However, as someone who trains with pro boxers, MMA fighters, world champion grapplers and Olympic Judo players, I’ve found that highly trained fighters are the most gentle people I know. They’re also real warriors, not just those with a “mindset.”
Confidence breeds calmness, which most often prevents conflicts from happening in the first place. But if conflict does arise, true fighters can almost always handle it quickly and without incident.

When you don’t train, you’re not calm. You’re not confident. You’re a liability - not only to yourself but also to your partners and the citizens your serve. Instead of actual skills, you rely on ego, anger and a “warrior mindset” to help resolve problems and confrontations. The end result is s**t like this. It’s unacceptable on all levels and should have never happened.

Why should cops train Jiu Jitsu? Sure, it teaches us safe and effective ways to control uncooperative suspects and defend ourselves on the street. But more importantly, it teaches us to be gentle.
