July 5, 20179 yr I have an invitation to train with some of the area Police Officers. They meet at another dojo about 50 minutes from me. I would probably attend 1-2 times a month even though the group meets every week. I would have to trade shifts as I normally work that time. No charge. That dojo lets the are police use the space. Many of the participants are Academy instructors and hold rankings in various arts.LEO and Security only. I think we got invited because we work with them frequently at the hospital.

Those who talk don't know." ~ Lao-tzu, Tao Te Ching "Walk a single path, becoming neither cocky with victory nor broken with defeat, without forgetting caution when all is quiet or becoming frightened when danger threatens." ~ Jigaro Kano

July 6, 20179 yr It is indeed a good idea to take advantage of every opportunity to learn something. Even more so when said opportunity has conditions like being invited. Opportunity rarely presents itself more than once, so go for it if you have the time for it.
July 6, 20179 yr That is really nifty! Training options near me are limited. I'd like to find another school to visit from time to time, just for a different perspective. 5th Geup Jidokwan Tae Kwon Do/Hap Ki Do (Never officially tested in aikido, iaido or kendo)
July 8, 20179 yr Yes, a very good opportunity to expand ones MA betterment!! **Proof is on the floor!!!
July 17, 20179 yr Good luck, have fun, try to refrain from using the term "Police brutality" while sparring, I can say due to experience, they don't see the funny side of saying it.
