LEO BLACK BELT DATA BASE

LAW ENFORCEMENT Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black BeLT Data BASE

We are building a list of verified and certified Brazilian (Gracie) Jiu Jitsu Black Belts around the world. The names that appear in the below list are either ACTIVE or FORMER Law Enforcement Officers who are also legitimate Black Belts in Brazilian (Gracie) Jiu Jitsu. You must be a LEO to be added to this particular list. 


The reason for the data base serves two purposes:


The first is an easy way for people to check and verify an instructor that they are both LEO's (former or active) and also Black Belts in BJJ. The second reason is to build a data base for an Invictus Black Belt conference in the future where we can all get together and combine our collective experience to push the #BJJMAKEITMANDATORY movement.


To get added to this list you must do the following:


  1. Tell us your full name and rank (degree)
  2. Who you received your black belt from and what year?
  3. What agency you work (or did if retired) for?
  4. Where you train now (include website)?
  5. Location: City, State/Province and Country

We will background check every name that comes through us. You MUST include all the information from steps 1-5 to be added.


E-Mail us at info@invictusleo.org to be added. *Do NOT apply on someone else behalf as they will not be accepted.
