My name is TJ Cadiente, and I’m one of Coach Rich Peterson’s Defensive Tactics instructors at the Criminal Justice Training Center.
I had the pleasure of meeting and assisting Sensei Erik and Tonya during their recent seminar at the academy—it was an honor to host them. My professional background includes 10 years in Corrections, where I served as the lead Defensive Tactics instructor for the agency and trained all of the special teams. For the past year and a half, I’ve been an instructor at the Criminal Justice Training Center.
I’ve been training in martial arts for many years and recently began my journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I’m proud to have earned my blue belt recently . I’m very excited to continue progressing through Sensei Erik’s program and contributing wherever I can.
