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!

The good news is, I just got approved by my department to attend a Carlson Gracie Jr. law enforcement ground fighting seminar. It's actually an instructor course, though I'm not sure what exactly it makes me an instructor in, whether it's Gracie Combatives or GST, or something that Carlson Gracie Jr. made up. I'm just excited about the opportunity to train with a living legend.

I actually trained under Pires for a while. Good match that is.

Didn't quite understand the rules...The rules said that for a takedown to score points you must control it for one second...I got takendown twice, but before we even hit the ground was working to get back up...apparently the refs award points if your back touches the mat which I didn't know til afterwards and lost the match 4-0 (takedowns are 2 points) in what was most likely the most boring BJJ match in history!

That sucks man I would be heart broken if that was me! I don't feel bad about it, because it was the first time I'd ever competed one on one in any sport (always played football)...Like my sig says you either win or you learn!
