Doylestown police seek people involved in a Sept. 25, 2026, parking lot fight caught on surveillance video, including a body slam.

A University of Arizona research project led by microbiologist Dr. Charles Gerba tested shoes that had been worn for three months. Researchers found an average of approximately 421,000 bacterial units per shoe, with individual shoes ranging from 3,600 to 8 million. Coliform bacteria were detected on 96% of the shoes tested, and researchers identified organisms including E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Serratia ficaria. When contaminated shoes were walked across clean floor tiles, bacteria transferred to the clean surface more than 90% of the time.

Think about everywhere the bottom of your shoes have been today:

Public bathrooms. Parking lots. Sidewalks. Gas stations. Stores. Restaurants. Schools. Dog waste. Spit. Garbage.

Now imagine walking across the mats in those shoes — and then asking your training partner to put their face on that same surface.

This is why shoes should NEVER be worn on the mats.
But here’s the part that Jiu-Jitsu and MMA gyms sometimes get backwards:

“No shoes on the mats” is only half of a good hygiene policy.

Many gyms still treat shoes on the mats as optional or don’t consistently enforce the rule. Just as concerning, it’s not unusual to see students walk barefoot off the mats, across lobby or hallway floors, into the bathroom, and then walk barefoot right back onto the training surface.

This post isn’t about criticizing police officers that don’t train. It’s about encouraging good cops to keep getting better.

You do fi****ms qualification. You train tactics. You study policy. You maintain your equipment. Why wouldn’t you continue developing the one tool you take into every single call— yourselves?

Our martial arts, self-defense and defensive tactics training at Combat Fitness Martial Arts gives you something you can’t acquire from a semi-annual or yearly defensive tactics class. Time under pressure.

The ability to stay calm when someone is fighting you. The confidence to control someone without immediately escalating the level of force. And the humility to realize there is always more to learn. Professionals make training a priority.

This doesn’t mean you have to train everyday. It means deciding that your skills are worth investing in because your partners deserve the best version of you. The community deserves the best version of you. And, most importantly, your loved ones (and pets) waiting for you at home deserve the best chance possible of having you walk back through the entrance of your home at the end of your shift.

So this is isn’t me pointing a finger. It’s me extending a hand. It’s me giving back to our police officers through my knowledge, skills and training in various combative systems.

Gratefully, I have had the opportunity to train police officers from the local area since 2010. If you’re one of my former police officers that I have trained reading this, please feel free to comment. Thank you for trusting me. 🙏🏽

Come train. Get uncomfortable. Get humbled. Get better. Not because you’re a bad cop if you don’t train, but because you’ve chosen this profession, you owe it to yourself to keep becoming a better one.
