Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Renato Tavares developed his affinity and talent for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at a young age. Tavares became notable early in his jiu jitsu career competing actively in the blue belt division and winning 18 out of 23 tournaments. In 1995, Tavares received his black belt under grandmaster Carlson Gracie Sr in 1996.
In 2002, Tavares moved to the United States and eventually settled in Vero Beach, Florida where he started his own jiu jitsu training organization.
Today, Renato Tavares Association, has over 37 affiliate training locations across the country and international.
Tavares' extensive achievements have been reflected in numerous competitions and tournaments which include, but are not limited to, 7x Master World, 2 European and 13x Pan-American champion. Twelve of those in featherweight and one absolute division title.
In addition to focusing on his own journey, Tavares has embodied the definition of an instructor, mentor, facilitator, and friend for his students and colleagues.
Tavares has built a healthy learning environment for the art of jiu jitsu and a genuine family atmosphere where everyone can feel welcomed and accepted as family as they embark on their own journey.
Tavares as also made it his personal goal to expose and highlight the importance of jiu jitsu in law enforcement. He has invested much of his own time to exploring law enforcement specific elements and how jiu jitsu can be applied to aid and support the objective cops have dealing with subjects in the field. He has donated time and resources to local law enforcement agencies to build relationships in an effort to create buy-in from deputies and officers. His selflessness, humility, and generosity is unmatched and I am privileged and honored to sit down with Master Renato Tavares and bring you a piece of his influence and perspective. -
I sat down with Lieutenant Christopher Lester who is a current watch commander for the Indian River County Sheriff's Office in Florida.
Lt. Lester was shot in the line of duty early in his career and was lucky to survive the incident. Lt. Lester has been involved in two other critical shooting incidents since then.
Lt. Lester has worked the streets, definitely a Goon, in investigations with yours truly, was then promoted to Patrol Sergeant and recently promoted to Patrol Lieutenant.
Lt. Lester brings a lot of experience to this episode not only as a street goon but having been lead or co lead investigator on many homicide cases.
He even made SWAT....kinda.... -

Jerry Wurms and I breakdown the incident and discuss our feelings about the incident. -
I sat down with the former Deputy Chief of the Palm Bay Police Department Lance Fisher.
Fisher was a combat Marine and then became a police officer at the Palm Bay Police Department in Florida.
Fisher worked patrol and then went on to street crimes. He eventually supervised the street crimes unit as Big Sarge, and after that as the LT.
Fisher worked his way to Deputy Chief but learned all the loyalty and hard work he put into his career would be quickly destroyed over a simple disagreement with the Chief of Police.
The Chief was a former partner, close friend, and Godfather to one of Deputy Chief Fisher's children but none of that mattered when they set out to get rid of Deputy CHief Fisher. -
In Episode 3 I speak with Christopher "YNW Belly" Bellefleur who was a decorated patrol deputy and Detective at the same agency I worked for.
Bellefleur was instrumental in solving several homicide cases and the case agent on several large scale drug investigations.
Like many good cops false promises and betrayal forced him out early and he is now a very successful private sector employee. -
Recently Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk have stated that President Trump should consider a pardon for Derek Chauvin. Jerry Wurms and I discuss the wild things about the Chauvin case and if he should be pardoned or not.
