<p>For some time Jiu-Jitsu has been employed as an important instrument to help police officers. In Brazil, although not an mandatory part of police training, many in the profession have turned to the Gentle Art. And the benefits go well beyond the advantages Jiu-Jitsu offers in answering the call of duty, by immobilizing or defending oneself from suspect.</p>
<p>One who can talk is Douglas Maddarena, a student of Carlos Liberi at Gracie Barra Campinas, in the state of Sao Paulo. Definitively, the art changed the life of the policeman who, through great dedication, made it to black belt after seven years of practice.</p>
<p>“I started training in 2003, through a co-worker who passed away. My friend was a brown belt, policeman, and, unfortunately, he died in the field of service. At the time, for pitfalls of my profession, he suffered panic attacks and weighed 102 kg (224 lbs), while only 1.71 meters (5’6”) tall. He was obese,” he recounts.</p>
<div style="width: 164px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img decoding="async" title="Douglas attests to Jiu-Jitsu's effectiveness in improving the quality of life of police officers" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/douglas2.jpg" alt="" width="154" height="433" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Douglas attests to Jiu-Jitsu&#39;s effectiveness in improving the quality of life of police officers</p></div>
<p>Douglas, affectionately nicknamed Presuntinho by his teammates, lives with the stress of being a policeman in Sao Paulo.</p>
<p>“I worked in special units like GARRA (armed group for repressing theft and muggings), at the criminal investigations department and in smaller departments. I worked a lot in narcotics and dealt with dangerous criminals. I even investigated the PCC (Sao Paulo’s largest drug gang) in Campinas, and made arrests. I also worked in putting down prison revolts and I have been a detective for the police for the last 18 years,” he explains.</p>
<p>In the quality of life and work of a police officer, Douglas attests to Jiu-Jitsu being a great tool.</p>
<p>“Ever since I started to train my psychological health has improved 100% and I don’t even need to say anything about my physical health. It was a great victory for me. Gracie Barra is a family to me now. Jiu-Jitsu was great for my personal life above all else. And that improved my life, because I made true friends. In controlling criminals and prisoners during rebellions, where one cannot use lethal weapons, I carry myself well,” he says, adding:</p>
<p>“I managed to teach some friends in the profession to subdue criminals using Jiu-Jitsu, which avoids the need for deadly measures, since we no longer need weapons. It also prevents the abuse of authority, as we can dominate an individual in order to handcuff him. It has been spectacular for my professional life. I avoid a lot of headaches. Also, using Jiu-Jitsu and its philosophy in work has helped me make it to the top of the special unit,” he adds.</p>
<p>Douglas still manages to find time to compete, having won silver at the Gracie Barra in-house tournament. At the academy where he trains, he has been able to follow up close the introduction of the Premium Schools system, developed by Master Carlos Gracie Jr, which is being applied as a standard to GB branches around the world.</p>
<p>“It inspires a lot of confidence, for example, for the beginners. The new fighters, when they do their first rolls in the gym, already have a solid base. Beyond that, it unifies everybody. The student knows that what he is learning here is what is being taught around the world. That provides great confidence and the teaching methods have improved a lot. It can only bring more to the table and the proof of it being a success is that the mat is full,” he says in closing.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/jiu-jitsu-as-police-aid/">Jiu-Jitsu as police aid</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<p>Há algum tempo o Jiu-Jitsu é empregado como importante instrumento no auxílio de policiais. No Brasil, apesar de não ser uma cadeira obrigatória na polícia, muitos na profissão buscam a arte suave. E os benefícios vão muito além das vantagens que o Jiu-Jitsu pode trazer numa ocorrência, na imobilização ou defesa contra algum suspeito.</p>
<p>Quem pode falar sobre isso é Douglas Maddarena, aluno de Carlos Liberi na Gracie Barra Campinas, em São Paulo. Definitivamente, a luta mudou a vida do policial civil que, dedicado, alcançou a faixa-preta em sete anos de prática.</p>
<p>“Comecei a treinar em 2003, através de um colega de profissão que faleceu. Meu amigo era faixa-marrom, também policial civil, e, infelizmente, tombou em serviço. Na época, em decorrência da minha profissão, sofria de síndrome do pânico e estava com 102kg, sendo que tenho apenas 1,71 de altura. Estava obeso”, conta.</p>
<div class="mceTemp">
<div id="attachment_8769" style="width: 164px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/douglas2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-8769" class="size-full wp-image-8769" title="douglas2" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/douglas2.jpg" alt="" width="154" height="433" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-8769" class="wp-caption-text">Douglas confirma a eficiência do Jiu-Jitsu na polícia e na melhora da qualidade de vida</p></div>
<p>Douglas, carinhosamente apelidado de Presuntinho pelos companheiros de equipe, vive o estresse de ser policial em São Paulo.</p>
</div>
<p>“Trabalhei em unidades especiais como o GARRA (Grupo Armado de Repressão a Roubos e Assaltos), na DIG (Delegacia de Investigações Criminais) e em delegacias de menores. Trabalhei muito com entorpecentes e lidei com marginais perigosos. Investiguei até o Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), em Campinas, tendo efetuado prisões. Também trabalhei na repressão de rebeliões em cadeias e sou investigador de polícia há 18 anos”, conta.</p>
<p>Na qualidade de vida e do trabalho como policial, Douglas indica o Jiu-Jitsu como grande ferramenta.</p>
<p>“Desde que comecei a treinar, minha saúde psicológica melhorou 100% e a física nem se fala. Foi uma vitória muito grande. A Gracie Barra é uma família que conheci. O Jiu-Jitsu foi bom para a minha vida pessoal mais do que tudo. E isso só melhorou a minha vida, porque fiz verdadeiros irmãos. No domínio de marginais e presos em rebeliões, quando não há o uso de armas letais, me saí muito bem”, diz ele, que continua:</p>
<p>“Consegui ensinar alguns amigos de profissão a também fazer o domínio através do Jiu-Jitsu, o que evita o número de baixas, já que não precisamos usar a arma. Também evita o abuso de autoridade, pois podemos dominar o indivíduo para algemá-lo. Na minha vida profissional foi espetacular. Evitou muita dor de cabeça. Inclusive, o emprego do Jiu-Jitsu e a sua filosofia dentro do meu trabalho me ajudou a atingir a chefia de unidade especializada”, completa.</p>
<p>Douglas ainda arruma tempo para competir, tendo conquistado a medalha de prata num torneio interno da Gracie Barra. Na sua academia, pôde acompanhar de perto a introdução do sistema de Escolas Premium, desenvolvido pelo mestre Carlos Gracie Jr., que está sendo padronizado em filiais da GB por todo o mundo.</p>
<p>“Dá muito mais confiança, por exemplo, aos atletas iniciantes. Os novos lutadores, quando vão fazer o primeiro combate dentro da academia, já estão com a base formada. Além disso, é unificado em todo o mundo. O aluno sabe que, o que está aprendendo aqui, é o que é ensinado em todo o planeta. Isso dá uma confiança muito grande e a didática melhorou muito. Só tem a acrescentar e a prova do sucesso é que o tatame está cheio”, encerra.</p>The post <a href="https://www.graciemag.com/o-jiu-jitsu-como-auxilio-a-policia/">O Jiu-Jitsu como auxílio à polícia</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.graciemag.com">Graciemag</a>.]]></content:encoded>
