Direct Response Options Program

What to Expect:

​

Our Direct Response Options Program (DROP) provides participants with a fun, safe, focused environment for learning. Our program is multi-faceted. You will learn hand-to-hand defensive tactics, which adhere to AZPOST and Department standards. The techniques you learn with us will not be scrutinized on the evening news, nor will you find yourself out of policy in a use of force encounter. Your instruction will combine proven techniques of the Gracie system of self defense, with real world examples of its use and practicality. Alongside the physical aspect of the lessons, we will provide you with a guideline of navigating Search and Seizure, and the "do's and don'ts" when it comes to Constitutional Law. 

​

The best part of your training will be that these techniques are tried and true. You won't be learning what's "cool" or "popular". You will be learning techniques born on the streets of Rio De Janeiro. Sown from the blood off the knuckles of Grand Master Helio Gracie himself after proving the effectiveness of his art, and then passed down to his son, Royce. Royce doubled down on these techniques, proving their efficacy once again, in bare-knuckled fights of the original UFC, before passing them onto Professor Goo.
