Ep #30: Martial Arts and Law Enforcement: A Personal Journey into Self-Defense and Police Training
12/06/23 • 89 min
Are you curious about the intersection of martial arts and law enforcement? I sat down with my father, Mick Jolly, a seasoned martial artist from a military family, to discuss how our martial arts backgrounds have influenced our mindset, approach to self-defense, and our careers in law enforcement. We also touch on the essential role of mindset in martial arts training and share firsthand experiences from a law enforcement training center, where we observed a diverse range of individuals honing their self-defense skills.
From personal experiences during a mission trip to Puerto Rico to handling unexpected situations in law enforcement, we explored how martial arts training can be beneficial in unexpected circumstances. My father and I also delve into the importance of continuous learning, adaptation, and having a mentor in self-defense and law enforcement. We also discuss the benefits of teaching self-defense classes, particularly to college students, as an empowering tool for personal safety.
Wrapping up, we shed light on how martial arts can play a significant role in law enforcement. We discuss the importance of ongoing training to effectively assess and de-escalate potentially violent situations, especially for police officers carrying firearms. Lastly, we share insights on the evolving mentality in martial arts schools and the legal system and how they impact self-defense training. This conversation promises to enlighten and provoke thought on martial arts, self-defense, and their application in various fields. Tune in for an engaging journey through martial arts and self-defense, laced with personal experiences and invaluable lessons.
