LEO Scholarship

At Renzo Gracie Clarksville we greatly appreciate the sacrifice of our law enforcement officers and whole-heartedly believe in keeping our officers and community safe. One of the most important ways to accomplish this is through access to high-quality self-defense training.

For law enforcement officers, BJJ can be a valuable tool for keeping themselves and the community safe. BJJ teaches officers how to control and defend themselves against larger and stronger opponents. This can help them to feel more confident and prepared to handle dangerous situations. BJJ also teaches officers how to use their physical skills to control a situation without resorting to violence. This can help to reduce the risk of injuries to both the officer and the suspect.For these reasons and many more, Renzo Gracie Clarksville is proud to provide 4 months of FREE Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training to all officers new to BJJ. To qualify, you must be employed by a law enforcement agency as an officer and have no previous BJJ training. Current MPs do not qualify.

Adopt-A-Cop BJJ Scholarship

After completing your LEO scholarship, you may qualify for a scholarship with the organization Adopt-a-Cop BJJ. Adopt-a-Cop BJJ addresses critical gaps in the department-funded training of front line police officers by partnering with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gyms across the country to provide free or reduced rate memberships to police officers. Officers are sponsored until they achieve the rank of blue belt, which typically takes 12-18 months.

While you are currently utilizing your LEO scholarship we greatly encourage you to reach out to Adopt-A-Cop BJJ and to apply for their program. Each month they will reimburse you for your cost of membership provided you adhere to their terms of sponsorship.

Combatives for Cops Classes

Here at Renzo Gracie Clarksville, we strive for those who train with us to be the very best they can be – and our Law Enforcement Officers are no exception.

For this reason, we are now offering Law Enforcement Officers Combatives Training. This training will specifically be for those individuals who work in a law enforcement capacity. An overwhelming majority of LEO’s have only experienced hands-on defensive tactics in the academy – here at Renzo Gracie Clarksville, we intend to change that.

Our LEO classes will focus on takedowns, handcuffing techniques, ground control techniques, scenarios, verbal commands, weapon retention, situational sparring, and much more!

Our instructors offer real-world experience in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Law Enforcement with over 25 years of expertise. Everything we teach will be aimed at helping LEO’s build their skill set, confidence, and overall awareness. Tools are an integral part of the job, but those tools are only as effective as the person using them. One certain thing is that every arrest ends with going hands-on. We hope to see you on the mats!
