ISR Matrix Police Jiu-Jitsu is designed for seamless integration into departmental SOPs. It is a legally and ethically defensible system, carefully vetted for law enforcement application.

Its structure and delivery are proven to reduce training injuries, lower liability, and increase officer effectiveness, regardless of agency size or available resources.

The system emphasizes mechanical control and leverage over pain compliance, strikes, or pressure points—drawing from the most effective techniques of jiu-jitsu and wrestling and applying them across the full spectrum of resistance levels officers may face during apprehension.

ISR Matrix Police Jiu-Jitsu is modular and adaptable, making it ideal for instruction across varied schedules, training blocks, units, and operational roles. It provides a principled, high-percentage foundation that enhances officer performance and agency professionalism.

Legally sound. Morally grounded. Operationally effective. 

Space is limited. Early registration is strongly recommended.

Stats and Data

With the advancement of the ISR Matrix Police Jiu-Jitsu program the Mesa Police Department has seen an approximate 50% reduction in injuries to officers and suspects.

Officers are using lower levels of force including an 80% reduction in strikes to suspects. MPD has had virtually no in-service training injuries (100% decrease) during more than 3700 hours of department wide ISR-PJJ training in 2024.

The Police Jiu-Jitsu program continues to grow with the increased support of AZ POST, LE Departments from throughout Arizona and both state and federal law enforcement nationwide. 
Here are a few aspects of Police Jiu-Jitsu that make it unique.
  • Designed and trained to use mechanical compliance and not pain compliance.
  • It primarily utilizes positional advantage and leverage over strikes, locks and pressure points. 
  • The majority of injuries to both Officers and suspects occur doing takedowns and grounded apprehension, control and arrest. Police Jiu-Jitsu uses controlled descents (not throws) and controls hips and hands to specially avoid those injuries. (The suspect cannot stand back up nor use their hands to strike officers or reach for weapons.) 
  • Police Jiu-Jitsu avoids throws, wrist and joint locks and placing any weight or pressure on suspect's head, neck, spine, stomach or lower back.  


Here are a few stats and data points that showcase how it has impacted how Mesa Police uses force. How officers have not had to increase or escalate use of force (have maintained the exact level of force necessary and no more) due to Police Jiu-Jitsu's efficiency and overall effectiveness.
