Duty To Train®

Why Has Our System Been So Effective for Law Enforcement and Military Professionals?

Our system’s success lies in its simplicity, realism, and adaptability to real-world law enforcement and military scenarios. Developed by Professor Andre Quiles—a world-renowned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, and active U.S. law enforcement officer—the system is designed to mirror the natural progression of a physical assault on a law enforcement professional.

Rooted in the foundations of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Sao Paulo Brazil with Professor Andre Quiles, the system was first tested and refined through real operations by Brazilian police forces, then further adapted to meet the evolving demands of U.S. law enforcement agencies. The core mission is simple:

“Andre Quiles is a World Champion fighter, active law enforcement officer, and Defensive Tactics Instructor who combines professional combat skills with real-world policing experience to deliver effective, legally sound training.” Equip officers to handle physical confrontations with control and confidence, while minimizing force and protecting both officer and subject.

Recognizing the need for a practical and effective approach tailored to policing, Professor Quiles developed the C.P.R. System—Control, Protect, and Restrain. This later evolved into a more advanced and comprehensive methodology known today as:

✫ PROTECT ✫ DISARM ✫ RETAIN ✫ CONTROL ✫ RESTRAIN ®

🥇 Each phase follows the natural sequence of a use-of-force encounter:

• PROTECT yourself and those around you
• DISARM active threats or weapons
• RETAIN control over your own duty weapon
• CONTROL the subject with efficient, proven techniques
• RESTRAIN using safe, grappling-based tactics focused on compliance and safety

The system includes:

• Defensive and offensive striking principles
• Clinch work and takedown techniques
• Ground control and restraint tactics
• Weapon disarming and retention skills

This is one of the most complete, field-tested, and easy-to-learn defensive tactics systems available for law enforcement and military professionals today.
