SafeWrap™ Lateral Restraint System

The Safest & Most Effective 2-on-1 Restraint System

www.gracieuniversity.com

SafeWrap Licensing
The SafeWrap system is patent-pending (application # 63/647,962), copyrighted, and trademarked worldwide.

Any individual who completes the SafeWrap ICP may obtain a free license to use the system for their personal and family safety.

If, however, an institution wants to adopt the system for any/all of its staff members, that institution must first obtain a license and pay a licensing fee commensurate with the size of the organization and the number of staff members that will learn and utilize the system.

If an institution wants to utilize the SafeWrap system but does not have the financial resources to cover the licensing fees, then Gracie University will consider granting the license at little or no cost, particularly in the early stages of adoption when the tangible benefits of SafeWrap adoption are being established within the institution.

Bottom line: SafeWrap will save lives, and we don’t want financial constraints to be the reason why any institution does not receive these benefits.

In addition to providing licensed users the right to use the system for safer and more effective outcomes during physical encounters – in law enforcement, healthcare, and everything in between – there are several significant benefits to SafeWrap licensing including, but not limited to:

• Online SafeWrap Access: Every licensed user will receive 24/7 online access to detailed videos outlining the SafeWrap system. This is critical in all sectors, but particularly useful in law enforcement, where hands-on training is disastrously insufficient in most agencies. Giving each officer the ability to log on and review critical instructional material any time, day or night, can result in improved retention that may mean the difference between life and death.
• Expert Witness Support: If a licensed user gets involved in litigation surrounding the use of the SafeWrap system, Gracie University will provide expert witness support on their behalf at no cost other than the verifiable out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing such support (hotel, airfare, ground transportation, etc).

Any agency, organization, institution, or individual that by pattern or practice is teaching this system without a license may be exposed to intellectual property liability. It is not our desire or intent to pursue litigation against any officer or individual who independently uses the SafeWrap system in a use-of-force encounter.

 

[Patrick Jane]

Yeah, i think i'll move my body as i see fit, regardless of what some Gracie scammer might think of it.

Maybe a great business idea to patent the headlock though. I'd be a trillionaire in a heartbeat.

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

Well, I will pay the licensing fees because I want to give back to the community.

What happens if our organization gets called into litigation surrounding the use of the SafeWrap system?

Hey it's all good. He will come out for an all expenses paid trip to say his system is good if you get sued.

Wait, does he finish this move with the pinch, or the swirl? Because the swirl is MY move.

See how retarded that sounds? Lol these guys are ridiculous.

As in you think those fees are going anywhere besides Rener's next income source?
Everyone followed the same get rich coach scheme of needing at least 3 incomes to become a millionaire.

That's why every person is bringing out multiple products, pushing insta content and diversifying their revenue streams.
If he wanted to give back to the community he would have just taught it as part of his system for Gracie combatives.

100% right.
They use the back thrust more often these days. The heimlich was too hard to teach correctly and led to lawsuits.
Just like this will and then Rener will get out of it by saying they did it wrong because they crossed the arms incorrectly.

Rener is the epitome of everything I hate about the Jiu Jitsu world.
I'm just waiting for him to release MyGrandfatherIntventedLeverage-Coin

Remember back when he was trying to cash in on that poor girl that got brutally raped (The whole Lloyd Irvin students' atrocities)

P.S. How the hell did you end up with a yellow card? You're one of the most level headed, intelligent posters on here.

You're in that @HuskySamoan tier.

 

[mattemate]

I'm not sure if y'all realized it, but I invented filling the room with uppercuts.

 

[HunterAcosta]

Scumbag move.

You remember when that Mixed Martial Animations YouTube channel existed? The Rener Gracie parody where he tries to sell you a lesson on how to take a dump and where he tries to sell you a goblet to drink your own pee from are a pretty faithful persiflage on the mindset of the Gracie family.





I think the reason a lot of people refuse to give the Gracie family even legitimate credit for anything ever is that it would feed this unjustified hubris and support their predatory business ideas.

I carelessly posted an image of a 1930's Nazi propaganda poster in a War Room thread. This did indeed violate the rules on offensive images. My bad.

"Is it really persiflage?" she mocked.

Hahahaha.

It's tough to in a lot of ways. Being lied to for decades makes it even harder. Helio being a crippled 90lb weakling that invented everything by watching. Rufino Dos Santos. Ricksons record (*cough*Ron Tripp)
I'll avoid the political side of Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
Ironic the best Gracie isn't actually a Gracie.

The list goes on.

At the end of the day BJJ is just Catch influenced Judo.

I avoid the war room like the plague. Probably the only reason I haven't been carded once on like 22 years.

I believe what also complicates the entire issue is that the most useful techniques and strategies in grappling tend to always be the most basic and therefore the ones that are the least original to a specific style. The most unique parts of a style are often times the most useless. Because of this, it seems very much presumptuous to the average grappler when some Gracie pretends that everytime you see an absolutely basic technique like an armbar or a guillotine choke, it can be credited to the Gracies. At the same time, individuals who have no idea about grappling will eat up everything the Gracies sell them because they can verify with their own eyes that the techniques work. The only reason you often see this stubborn insistance on originality (often times while giving shallow credit to other styles and immediately talking about Helio Gracie modifying things) is to create this illusion that Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a legally distinct martial art and therefore can be financially monopolized, so to speak. The topic of this thread is a perfect example of the motivations.

So incredibly true and rather sad.

I'm not making this up, literally yesterday
My girlfriend was selling her artwork at a convention yesterday and 3 people came up. They were very kind and sweet.

Forget how but martial arts gets brought up.

And the guy proceeds to tell me the two girls just finished their "combatives" and got their blue belts. And they are starting to do some other program. How they always watch the disGracies Rener and Ryron. He seemed convinced they could kick his ass, not a fake humble response a genuine one.

It was painful that I had to hold my tongue and not really say anything.

So I just said leading questions, "are there any in person gyms near you?"

"If you want to get even better, really fast go find a good gym especially with a teacher that has students go to tournaments"

And a bunch of other stuff like that.

I practically went into used car salesman mode. I also almost bit my tongue off not to gell then what I really thought.

 

[Human Bass]

The technique seems super legit, the patent thing is more of a publicity stunt

I don't think it's a publicity stunt. I think they legitimately want to prohibit anyone from teaching "their" "system" without paying them money.

OK I went back and actually watched the video... and this is literally just a freestyle wrestling leg lace + BJJ double gift wrap. Impressive. This reminds me of what you get when you combine the discipline, the timing and the power of gymnastics with the explosive force of karate...

 

[Osculater]

Does the safewrap include 'knee on neck'?
