To us, promoting the organic growth of jiu-jitsu means watering the roots of jiu-jitsu: culture, instructors, and schools.
Books and Media
We promote jiu-jitsu culture, and we seek out the most-talented instructors, regardless of whether or not they have won championship belts, and give them a platform for sharing their unique insights and perspectives with the jiu-jitsu community. We take their one-of-a-kind approaches to teaching and use rich media so that jiu-jiteiros everywhere can benefit from their knowledge.
