Rectitude Training, LLC and Retired Law Enforcement
Officer
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 the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency (IRMA),
one of the largest risk pools in the Chicagoland area. The goal is
to increase the frequency and consistency of Defensive
Tactics/Combatives training while reducing Officer’s and suspect's
injuries.
