Too often in the attempt to subdue a non-compliant suspect, an officer will find him or herself wrestling frantically standup or on the ground in the attempt to control the situation and make the arrest.
The C.O.P.S. Program™’s philosophy is to help Law Enforcement officers better understand and survive the uncertainly of a grappling/wrestling and ground fighting scenario with a criminal in a short training period.
The C.O.P.S. Program™ is an easy to learn Law Enforcement defensive tactics training course that stands for: Control Options Positioning Strategies. In a short time period, an officer can learn how to control a non-compliant suspect or escape a dangerous situation using the techniques from the C.O.P.S. Program™. Well within the contingence of the lethal force continuum, the program teaches techniques that are based on leverage, simplicity and strategy developed from the Martial Art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a grappling-oriented style, with substantial groundwork originated by the Gracie family of Brazil.
The C.O.P.S. Program™ helps Law Enforcement address the panic and ignorance of a grappling scenario with a dangerous criminal standing up or on the ground. By relying on awareness, technique and leverage instead of uncertainly, strength and power, a police officer will understand the importance of positioning, control and the use of the immobilization options explored in the C.O.P.S. Program™.
Program Overview:
Weapon retention from many positions, positional escapes standing up and on the ground, effective takedowns, immobilization techniques, handcuffing procedures, two man takedowns, ground positions for control and escape…and so much more!

Tony,
I have been employed as a police officer in Bucks County for the past eight years. During my career I have attended numerous defensive tactics and martial arts classes pertaining to police work. I honestly believe that of all the training I received in the past; the time spent training at Revolution Academy is far superior.
Your method of instruction allows a student to absorb and retain techniques much easier than other types of training I have received. I would highly recommend the Revolution Academy to law enforcement and security personnel, or private citizens looking for self-defense training.
Sincerely,
Officer John

The Revolution Academy is a top-notch facility with expert instruction.
My experience at the Revolution Academy has been educational, valuable
and most of all, fun.
I have been a police officer in Bucks County, Pennsylvania for seven years. I have had extensive training and experience as a SWAT operator, a handgun retention instructor, and a defensive tactics instructor.
The training that I have received at the Revolution Academy has been the most valuable training in the area of defensive tactics that I received thus far in my career. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) program is practical for law enforcement officers, and has provided me with additional confidence when I’m on patrol.
The attitude and the atmosphere provided by instructor Tony Pacenski produces a true camaraderie amongst the students. I have also quickly learned to appreciate both the fitness benefits, and the mental strategy involved with BJJ.
I highly recommend the Revolution Academy for any law enforcement officer, or anyone interested in martial arts or physical fitness.
