Chaplain Saves Police Officer's Life
Спорт
Scott Wilkos is a volunteer on call chaplain who saved the life of a Durham police officer in North Carolina, and he does jiu-jitsu.
On October 20th, Scott Wilkos was celbrating his birthday when he went for a ride along with Officer JT Rose whom he had known for 8 years. They clocked a guy speeding at over 100 MPH who then crashed his car. Out of the car comes Demario Holman, over 250 lbs of muscle, who rushes Officer Rose and takes him to the ground, gets on his back, and attempts to choke him with arm while reaching for his gun with the other.
This is when 52-year old Chaplain Wilkos, who is a Gracie Survival Tactics graduate rushed in and put his skills to work. He jumps on Holmans back, establishes over-under control, which allows Officer Rose to escape the choke.
Then the Chaplain roles Holman to his belly, and maintains full control until holman loses the will to fight. At that point help arrived and they were able to cuff the suspect with no further incident.
Turns out Holman was a long time criminal and had drugs and a loaded rifle in the car.
Even though he's not a cop himself, Chaplain Wilkos works so closely with law enforcement that he decided to pay his own tuition to do the GST instructor certification course and he always said, If I can help one officer go home safely, it will be worth it.

Jiu Jitsu as a police officer is a must.
I’m a police chaplain (pastor as day job) and a BJJ black belt and I’ve said this for YEARS…..if chaplains want to ride a long (and they should) they should get the proper training. Thank you, chaplain Wilcox!
That's amazing. Could have gone very bad for all involved. Brave man.

This guy was a jacked beast, looked every bit of the 250 pounds stated, and much larger than the officer. Crazy luck that "Killco Wilcos" was on the ride along that day, Gracey emergency trained.

This. Let’s recognize what really saved lives that day. All Glory to God
This needs to be mandatory and continuous. Municipalities and departments are doing their people dirty by not encouraging and helping to pay for this
Wow! What a badass chaplain. Straight up guardian angel!
I think this guy is one step below the machine gun preacher.
As former cop, current chaplain and gracie combatives belt holder, great job Chaplain!! Since law enforcement can longer use the "vascular neck restraint" all the other techniques are so much more vital. My last dept only taught how to get into the rear naked choke, but no other jiu-jitsu. Now they have to rely on pepper spray and batons, so sad
Never give up the high ground, especially to someone bigger than you who has already displayed self control issues and selfishness by driving like that around others on public roads.

Right! I was wondering how that officer got himself in that position. Looks crazy! Grateful that it turned out ok.
Way back, when I was young, I took Jui Jitsu from a Sensi from Okinawa. Traditionally, you throw or sweep your opponent, to get them on the ground...then go for a submission hold. Punching , kicking and blood chokes were for brown belts and above. For police officers, if I have made the radio call for backup, every second that I can keep them from grabbing my pistol and keep them "tied up" on the ground.....my help gets closer and closer.
The good Lord's work!!!
Great story! Definitely put those skills to work!
I’m a chaplain at the Macon County Jail. I just started training Bjj and mma at pedigo submission fighting
Jiu Jitsu works well when making an arrest. I was working as a mall security guard and after throwing a burglar who weighted at least 240lbs on his face I jumped on his back and was able to get two pairs of handcuffs on him(He was too big for one pair). Two other guys were on his arms when I threw him so they fell on top of him too. The reason I threw him is he appeared to be escaping after my coworker had him by his arm and might have started throwing punches. Afterwards the cops found a sharp weapon in his pocket he could have easily used on us. I only did the basic Gracie Jiu Jitsu when I was in the 101st airborne in 2/327th infantry regiment back in year 2000. I put pictures of that arrest on a video on my KZread channel.
It blows my mind BJJ is illegal for NYC cops.

@@gr8dvd KZread keeps disallowing my comment for some reason. I'm trying for the third time to give you a quote. This is from an article in PoliceMag: the City Council’s anti-chokehold bill that also prohibits officers from pinning suspects by the back or chest, including the use of jiu jitsu "mounts." The law even criminalizes any inadvertent sitting or kneeling on the suspect's chest or back.

@@gomcse Thanks for persisting to post quote! Guessing this law was well-intended in the aftermath of Eric Gardner strangulation… and a "fix" that accomplishes the opposite. BJJ is non-lethal done correctly; better to screen cops to eliminate insecure, power-tripping meat-heads, and have full accountability (for the few) when they cross the line.
Way to go sir! Well done!
Nice vid! That bad guy was not easy to handle.
So cool
Nice
That police officer got very lucky! Why are you guys NOT training? Great job chaplain
Nice work!
Hey yo hey yo. Can a normal person sign up for GST? Would love more info please!

Because the knowledge to safely and securely control a suspect is worse than shooting them because the suspect got the upper hand in a physical altercation?
