Manage episode 456023638 series 3012517
In Episode 113, Sofia interviews Sam Ferguson!
Sam Ferguson of Galo Combatives is a seasoned police officer with nearly a decade of service in Lexington, KY, and a skilled combat sports athlete specializing in grappling and striking. With extensive training in MMA, boxing, and Thai boxing, he brings a wealth of expertise to both sport and tactical contexts.
Sam is the creator of Two Point Control: Arm Tie Techniques for Edged Weapons Defense, a course he teaches at the Combatives Summit. This method focuses on using arm tie techniques to neutralize attackers wielding edged weapons, emphasizing safety and control in close-quarters encounters.
A lifelong grappler, Sam began wrestling at age 8 and now coaches high school wrestling. He also holds a blue belt in judo and a 1st-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), with multiple No Gi Worlds medals at the purple, brown, and black belt levels. As a third-shift patrol officer, Sam’s focus on combatives and arrest tactics earned him a black belt in combatives and opportunities to train under renowned experts like Paul Sharpe, Larry Lindeman, Craig Douglas, and Aaron Janetti.
Sam’s practical, real-world approach to edged weapons defense has made him a sought-after instructor in law enforcement and self-defense circles. His passion for teaching ensures students are equipped with effective strategies for high-stakes encounters.
