In this episode I sit down with a training buddy and friend of mine - Tony Tran.

It's always amazing the people you meet on the mats and the stories they have behind them.  Tony shared a few snippets of some of his experiences in policing and I wanted to get him onto the podcast to share his stories.

Policing is one of those occupations where you can have a very strained relationship with the public with people who may not respect the line of work, yet it's an absolutely necessary role in society that I think deserves a lot of respect and commendation for.

I hope that in Tony sharing these stories more people can appreciate the things our support services face on a daily basis.

There are some pretty morbid stories in this one so I guess this is my little warning for the listeners.

The other important outtake from this episode is the importance of jiu jitsu or martial arts training in relation to policing.

Tony admits himself that without his Jiu Jitsu training that perhaps some things may not have gone the right way to keep him alive today.

Enjoy!
