What Our Students Say

Jeff Pollard
"The internet is a strange place where anyone can say anything about people with little to no consequences. I’ll start by saying that there are current and former law enforcement officers, former and current military members, current teachers and other great citizens of Lasalle county that actively train at RBJJ. You won’t find better training in the area! I’ve personally known Danny Rodriguez for over 17 years and I’ve never seen (nor heard) of him scratching or biting anyone, he’s too highly skilled to need to attempt that non sense lol and as far as Tom Reynolds goes, I’ve known and trained with him for almost as long as Danny and Tommy will have his day in court (whatever happened to Innocent until PROVEN guilty??, that used to be a thing in America). I stand by Tommy’s version of events and I do 100% believe that Tommy acted in self defense! I mean What would anyone do if a trespasser on your property hit you with their car and then attempted to hit you an additional TWO times? Tommy suffered broken bones, a concussion and spinal damage from being hit, I myself would have pulled out my legally obtained concealed carry gun and fired in defense of my life, just like Tommy did too! The truth always comes to light, Danny doesn’t bite and scratch people and Tommy doesn’t shoot people that aren’t actively trying to run them over with a car lol. So don’t believe everything you see or read on the internet folks and have a great day, God knows us at RBJJ sure will and God bless America!"
