Code 4 Concepts Police Jiu-Jitsu Level One Instructor Course

A “game plan” or course curriculum comes with this Level 1 course that can be used as the department’s exact defensive tactics (DT) curriculum or as a supplement to a department’s current defensive tactics curriculum.

C4CPJJ Level 1 includes a bonus foundation level curriculum for officers who have limited to no experience in defensive tactics or combatives. This foundational level material is perfect for an academy setting, for officers in an FTO position, or for police departments who do not have a current control/grappling curriculum and wish to transition to this type of training.

C4CPJJ is a complete defensive tactics system based on the law enforcement officer’s reasonable outcomes of control and then custody. The foundation level sets the foundation, and level one allows officers to progress over time, realizing growth in their personal ability within the defensive tactics program. As officers continue to improve and grow, they will develop increased confidence, capability, control, and compassion for subjects that they may have to use force on. It is NOT a simple BJJ lesson plan called “LEO” Training.”

Level 1 -course topics include:

• 4 Fundamental Principles that every DT program should have 3 Fundamental Sub-Categories of Subject Control
• Use of force
• Decision making
• De-escalation
• Contact communication
• Punch Defense
• Control in solo officer and team settings Takedowns and takedown defense
• Ground control and ground defense
• Handcuffing
• Weapon retention, weapon defense, and more.

Instruction and demonstration of effective teaching strategies:

• Safely running defensive tactics training
• Proven methods to plan a course or training day
• Teaching methodology that enhances student recall and performance in the field

Course Completion:

Officers who successfully attend and complete the course will receive credit at the appropriate level. Students with extensive training, coaching, and LEO experience can be graded out higher by PJJ Instructors at a Level One course upon completion. Completing Level 2 or higher will authorize students to attend advanced C4CPJJ coursework (Levels 3-5) in the future. Students are encouraged to use the curriculum from the training within their department and share and teach the same to other officers. Graduates are not certified to teach or represent C4CPJJ outside of department duties without invitation and written authorization from Chad Lyman.
