Martial arts seminar in honor of two fallen Hollywood Police officers

Fort Lauderdale, Florida – In order to honor two fallen Hollywood Police officers, a Fort Lauderdale martial arts school held a free jiu-jitsu seminar.

Saturday’s seminar benefited the families of Officer Yandy Chirino and Lt. John Graham.

Dozens participated in the class.

According to jiu-jitsu Instructor Lucas Morely: “To support somebody that’s putting out — day in, day out, — their life on the line, it’s the minimum thing I can do for them”.

In October Chirino and Graham died hours apart.

The Hollywood community is trying to ensure their service is not forgotten.
