How Poor Training Puts Officers at RISK and What EFC is Doing to Change That

On this episode of The HOTWASH by Born Primitive Tactical hosted by Bruno Fallon, guests Jay Wadsworth and Scott St. Clair from Effective Fitness Combatives (EFC) discuss the critical importance of modern, realistic training for law enforcement officers. Emphasizing that fitness, combatives, and situational awareness are essential components of officer preparedness, they highlight how traditional training often fails to reflect the chaotic, unpredictable nature of real-world encounters. Through EFC’s integrated approach—grounded in fitness and stress-based, scenario-driven training—they aim to better equip officers at the individual, team, and departmental level to respond effectively and safely. The conversation also covers the dangers of over-relying on de-escalation, the need to condition officers for high-stress situations, and the importance of humility, ego-checking, and taking care of one’s mental and physical health to ensure a safe return home after every shift.
