Rolling in uniform shows you what the differences and limitations are. After a safety check to remove live weapons and making sure there isn’t anything sharp to scratch the mats, you will find that wearing a vest and belt greatly reduces torso flexion, and the soles of your boots get caught on any loose clothing **shoes were cleaned before stepping on the mats**??. Retentions get inadvertently released and belt keepers are absolutely necessary. I like to keep the back of my belt clear because having stuff positioned on your back hurts if you get stuck underneath someone. I’m grateful to have awesome friends like Tae who are willing to show me what I need to work on. #bellevue #police #selfdefense #jiujitsu #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom
