What is this book?
This book is a compilation of various pieces of writing, from over the past 6 years. It is meant to be a resource and a guide to Jiu-Jitsu for practitioners and instructors. There is no sequential order to the chapters.
This is on purpose. I wanted this to be something that offered a array of topics that you could quickly turn to, in the moments you need them the most!
For the last 24 years, I have dedicated my life to the art of Jiu-Jitsu. For the last 16 years as an instructor and Academy owner, I have been focused on continual evolution. Jiu-Jitsu is radically transformative on the individual.
These writings are the lessons, thoughts, and experiences I've had over the 2/3 of my life spent on the mat. I hope you can take something from them as we all continue on...

A GUIDE FOR YOUR BJJ
There is no order to these Chapters. In general, learning only takes place when there is a true emotional connection to what you're learning.
For example, if you are in class struggling with a singular topic, it will be very difficult to take in other info, that isn't related.
All of our "epiphanies" or "light bulb moments" occur, when there is an emotional connection to something that is overwhelming our psyche. Pay attention to this, so you can either avoid it or key in on it to your advantage.
