Judogi is the best option in terms of a cheap starter gi for a beginner. In terms of specific BJJ gis, I haven't seen anything cheaper than this...
Keep in mind it's a huge family, so like any family, some of them have done things the rest of the family probably isn't very proud of. For...
I do BJJ because it's fun, keeps me fit and I enjoy the social aspect of it too. I don't think it is going to make me a better person. The idea...
I've been a purple since 2011. I don't compete, so I'm not all that interested in my individual rank. The only reason I'd have any interest in...
IMO, the Metamoris cards have been getting steadily less interesting, plus it's become increasingly clear Ralek has zero respect for female...
Chrissy Linzy has around eight years worth of detailed stats on the 30+ submission only (and this is true submission only, so no time limits)...
Name recognition and a black belt to grade your students, as well as someone to promote you if you're a lower belt. That's about it in terms of...

I wouldn't say that. He doesn't tend to use the latest trend, but I have no doubt he has made lots of tweaks to those basic techniques. I prefer...
