The American Warrior Society is devoted to one thing: your safety. In todays world, taking responsibility for your own safety and survival is key and our goal is to teach you how.
On today's Coffee with Rich, we will be joined by
Kerry “Kato” Murakami.
Kerry “Kato” Murakami, the founder of Rectitude
Training, LLC, is devoted to training law enforcement and the
civilian defender. Kerry is a retired law enforcement officer from
the State of Illinois and has spent all twenty eight years in the
patrol division. He initially became a defensive tactics instructor
and field training officer in 1995, a firearms instructor in 2003
and finally a scenario based instructor in 2014.
As a martial artist, Kerry received his black belt
in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from Professor Mark Vives of New Breed
Training Center in 2019. As co-lead of his department’s scenario
based training program and lead instructor of his department’s
combatives club Kerry is able to use his skills to create, update,
and implement training programs on the range and in the mat room.
He has also consulted with outside law enforcement agencies on
creating and updating training programs, including their agency's
combatives/jiu-jitsu clubs. In early 2021 Rectitude Training, LLC
became a preferred provider to Intergovernmental Risk Management
Agency (IRMA), one of the largest risk pools in the Chicagoland
area. The goal is to increase frequency and consistency of
Defensive Tactics/Combatives training while reducing Officer’s and
suspect's injuries.
The American Warrior Show is the podcast of the American Warrior Society. AWS is a self-defense oriented educational website coming in the spring of 2015 that prepares men and woman from any walk of life to survive violent encounters.
