Since 2012, ORIGIN™ Immersion Camp has drawn thousands of Jiu-Jitsu students from across the globe, creating an immersive environment where novices and experts train and learn together under the guidance of world-class instructors. For 2024, we are pleased to offer a specialized training experience that’s tailored to active Law Enforcement Officers.
This specialized program blends Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and modern defensive techniques to equip officers with proven defensive tactics to gain compliance while using the minimum amount of force necessary. The results? Improved outcomes for officers and subjects - all while reducing liability and increasing officer and subject safety. Participants will gain valuable skills in safely disarming, restraining, and controlling subjects through simulated, real-life situations.
In addition to LEO-focussed BJJ sessions, leadership training will be hosted by Echelon Front. Co-founded by retired Navy SEAL officers Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, Echelon Front is a hands-on, leadership development company run and staffed by seasoned military veterans and experts across a wide range of disciplines. Its purpose is absolute: to pass on the lessons learned on the battlefield to leaders everywhere, at every level, in every capacity.
ABOUT ORIGIN™
We were born on the ground. A tight-knit group of people with a passion for Jiu-Jitsu and the lessons learned on the mat. We took those hard-won truths and applied them to how we approach everything in life. And all of it is distilled in our world-class Gis - the cornerstone of every product we manufacture. At ORIGIN™, we believe in many things, but we are Jiu-Jitsu.
LEO CAMP DETAILS
All belt levels are welcome, but this training camp is for ACTIVE LEO ONLY. Be sure to bring your full duty gear worn on the job. Officers attending LEO Immersion Camp are permitted to bring their service pistols. Sidearms can be carried except in designated training areas. When not carried, all firearms must be properly secured by device or locked enclosure supplied by the weapon’s owner. The travel safes airlines require to transport guns are perfectly suitable. Officers are solely responsible for their firearms at all times. (Blue training guns are not provided.)
