Scott Wilkos is a volunteer on call chaplain who saved the life of a Durham police officer in North Carolina, and he does jiu-jitsu.

On October 20th, Scott Wilkos was celbrating his birthday when he went for a ride along with Officer JT Rose whom he had known for 8 years. They clocked a guy speeding at over 100 MPH who then crashed his car. Out of the car comes Demario Holman, over 250 lbs of muscle, who rushes Officer Rose and takes him to the ground, gets on his back, and attempts to choke him with arm while reaching for his gun with the other.

This is when 52-year old Chaplain Wilkos, who is a Gracie Survival Tactics graduate rushed in and put his skills to work. He jumps on Holmans back, establishes over-under control, which allows Officer Rose to escape the choke.

Then the Chaplain roles Holman to his belly, and maintains full control until holman loses the will to fight. At that point help arrived and they were able to cuff the suspect with no further incident.

Turns out Holman was a long time criminal and had drugs and a loaded rifle in the car.

Even though he's not a cop himself, Chaplain Wilkos works so closely with law enforcement that he decided to pay his own tuition to do the GST instructor certification course and he always said, If I can help one officer go home safely, it will be worth it.
