Cops and Firefighters Forge Physical AND Mental Toughness Through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
While it���s no surprise that cops and firefighters would engage in recreational self-defense training as a way to keep their bodies in top-flight condition, you might be surprised to learn the degree to which they rely on such training to forge their mental toughness, as well.
Eddie Sebastia is a lieutenant with the Auburndale (Fl.) Fire Department. He is also a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). According to The Ledger, Sebastia and a number of other area firefighters and law enforcement officers train in the sport at Carlson Gracie Lakeland, a Central Florida BJJ academy that can claim direct lineage to Carlson Gracie, one of the seminal figures in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
While Sebastia credits his ongoing training as a way to maintain a high level of fitness and fighting expertise, he also relies on the work to enhance his mental strength, as well.
���It helps with my discipline, my mental toughness and helps me to always think three steps ahead," says Sebastia about the mental and psychological benefits of BJJ training.
Sebastia goes even further in his declarations of the overall benefits of BJJ training, referring to the sport as ���the ultimate battle.���
The ultimate battle.
Indeed, it could be said that mastery of the mind���mastery of not just physical, but psychological strength���represents the difference-maker in winning so many key battles encountered throughout the course of one���s life.
Certainly embarking on a rigorous, dedicated, ongoing study of a sport like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu could help you achieve that psychological mastery. But what if it simply isn���t possible for you to embark on such a path? Is there anything else you can do to achieve a mindset of pure steel?
One way to help arrive at that end is to avail yourself of a top-notch course in mental mastery, a course designed by a person whose entire adult life has been dedicated to succeeding in realms that ask more, not less, of one���s mental dedication.
The renowned Strength Psychology program, designed by the amazing Mike Gillette, is just such a course. Mike, a self-described weakling as a child who, he says, was afraid of everything, sought to overcome his fears with such devotion that he became:
An army paratrooper.
A SWAT commander.
A member of the Martial Arts Masters Hall of Fame.
A counter-terrorism consultant to the Department of Homeland Security.
A bodyguard to Fortune 500 executives and film stars, like Sylvester Stallone, and���
A record-setting strongman who has been featured in Ripley���s Believe It Or Not and Guinness World Records.
Additionally, Mike has over 25 different use-of-force and weapons systems instructor designations to his name. He���s been an in-demand tactical trainer for a literal alphabet soup of elite government agencies ��� FBI, DEA, DHS and TSA (in fact, he literally wrote the training manual for those last two).
Needless to say, Mike is well-qualified to create a program of mental conditioning like Strength Psychology���and what a program it is: Packed inside of a two-set DVD and written companion manual is a wealth of ���tough mind��� training that combines training secrets from law enforcement, military training, sports psychology, hypnosis, martial arts, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).
