On August 30th the FIGHT Instructors of the NYPD Police Academy received a “Continually Enhanced” training clinic.
Assisting me teach this session were 3 HaganaH Black Belts : Jack Krystek from NY, Sam De Jesus from NJ and Dave Feirrera from NJ as well.
The training was intense and the guys did great pushing through the drills. I deployed 3 Stress Drills with finishing each drill with a suprise gun-disarm under pressure from an un-expected direction. After a few hours of intense training the level of functionality of the guys was truly put to the test!!!
After the training session the LT. took us for a tour in the academy and showed us a few locations (Including the main cadet training room) where FIGHT training posters were hanging on the wall for cadets to have as a point of refference for their training. “You truly changed the way we teach defensive tactics in the NYPD Police Academy Mike, you made a big impact”….I must say, I was proud
