Adopt A Cop

Mash Gym is proud to be an official partner in the Adopt-A-Cop program, supporting law enforcement officers throughout Metro Detroit with specialized Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training. We recognize the critical importance of practical defensive tactics training for officers who put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities.

Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Law Enforcement?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is uniquely suited for law enforcement because it provides officers with the skills to control and subdue suspects without relying on strikes or excessive force. BJJ techniques allow officers to:

• Control Without Injury: Safely restrain suspects using leverage and positioning rather than strikes
• Defend Against Attacks: Protect themselves in close-quarters confrontations and ground fighting situations
• Maintain Composure: Stay calm and effective under the stress of physical confrontation
• Reduce Liability: Use appropriate force levels that minimize injury and legal exposure
