FLEOA 111 Project

Last week, the FLEOA 111 Project had the privilege and honor to attend the Knife Control Concepts law enforcement program at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. It was four days of intense, meaningful knife defense training with Aaron Jannetti and Eli Knight, who are amazing, knowledgeable, and passionate instructors. They even took time away from knife training to privately share some of their favorite jiu-jitsu techniques with us.

We are grateful for this experience and highly recommend visiting their website to attend a class. You will not regret it.

Did you know that in a galaxy far, far away, Darth Vader is a legit BJJ black belt? His instructional is on sale now at BJJ Fanatics for $299. Get it before the IBJJF bans these high-level submissions.

It's true. All of it. And while many of us at the FLEOA 111 Project believe that May 4th, Star Wars Day, should be a national holiday to commemorate the rebellion, it is not. So go train. May the Fourth be with you.
