Thought this would be a great forum to talk and spread and receive knowledge on international Brazilian Jui Jitsu.

For me, Brazilian Jui Jitsu has had an unexplainable positive impact on my life. Use this thread to post videos, stories or any questions you have about Jui Jitsu. For starters watch this excellent documentary on Alliance BJJ NYC founder Fabio Clemente. Rolled up is a great show. Its Budo Jake going around the legendary gymds around the world and exploring the culture of the particular BJJ in that area.


Enjoy!

Only time I've ever really grappled was when I was  learning combatives in Basic Training. I sucked big time but it was lots of fun.

Garcia one should be fantastic. They are currently filming one with our brother gym, Alliance Atlanta with the REAL Jacare and Lucas Lepri.. should be amazing.

I started BJJ last November...I competed in my first tournament in August and didn't do so well, but learned so much in that 1 5 minute match and can't wait for November's tournament now!

BJJ forever changed my life, and continues to each time I train.  I used to be ridiculously claustrophobic until I dedicated to Jits.  That's probably one of the greatest changes BJJ has put into effect for me.  I've trained in a wide array of martial arts systems, but Jiu-Jitsu is extremely unique, and has an addictive quality to it that I really can't explain.  Great thread!

I'm currently a blue belt, but ultimately my goals are to eventually run my own school, offering specialized training for law enforcement and military.

Buchecha has been on a tear lately. Should have a good match with Roger.
