Jiu jitsu has been the single biggest influence in my life.
It helped me totally transform my body and my mind. It has taken me all over the world.
Teaching it has fed me and put a roof over my head. It has allowed me to meet so many
talented and interesting people and make hundreds of friends all over the planet.
I’m not sure which direction my life would have taken had I not found jiu jitsu, but it has
undoubtedly made me the man I am today. I wrote this book because I want others to
experience the same life-changing and far-reaching benefits of embracing the jiu jitsu
l ifestyle that I have.
Jiu jitsu is challenging. It’s been estimated that for every 1000 people that try it only 5 or
so continue and make it to the black belt. I want to change that. This guide is for those
who want to start training but are hesitant for whatever reason. It’s also for beginners
who are finding the journey overwhelming. And it’s also for the more advanced student’s
that are attempting to refine their game. It is my hope that this resource will make your
e xperience with jiu jitsu as fun and productive as it can be.
