I’m using my book this weekend as a way to support mental health and su***de prevention in the Jiu Jitsu community.

Through Monday night:
• $5 from every book sold goes to Grapple; 4 Life, a nonprofit supporting su***de prevention through Jiu Jitsu
• If we hit 100 book sales by Monday night it will unlock 10% of this book’s royalties to charity permanently
• Five readers will be randomly selected and sent $50 as a thank-you

This window closes Monday Night.

If you’ve been meaning to read the book, this is a moment where buying it helps someone else too.

Congratulations to Danny C. on his purple belt promotion tonight!

I didn’t write this book because I had everything figured out.
I wrote it because I kept watching good people struggle in ways that didn’t make sense.

People who showed up.
People who worked hard.
People who loved Jiu Jitsu… and still felt lost.

At some point, “this is normal” stopped being a good enough answer. I try my best in this video to explain why Understanding Jiu Jitsu had to exist, and who it’s really for.

If you’re a white belt or blue belt and this feels familiar, you’re not alone.

And if you’re further along, you’ve probably seen this pattern too.

Details on the book and the upcoming 8-week study group are in the link.

Most people don’t struggle in Jiu Jitsu because they’re lazy, untalented, or not tough enough.

They struggle because something in the learning process is off.

After nearly 30 years on the mat and close to 20 years teaching, I started questioning why effort kept increasing while understanding didn’t. Why motivated students plateau. Why some quit despite loving the art.

I wrote Understanding Jiu Jitsu: Beyond Technique and Beyond Effort to examine what’s really happening beneath training, and why Jiu Jitsu starts making sense when clarity replaces force.

The book is live now.
If Jiu Jitsu has ever felt like it should make more sense than it does, this was written for you.

I’ve been sitting on this article for a while.

After years of hearing the stories about Rickson Gracie, and then eventually training with him myself, I kept coming back to one question.

This piece is the result of years of thought, practice, and trying to understand what I felt on the mat.

I finally decided to share it.

Pre-sale is live.

After nearly three decades of training and almost twenty years of teaching, this is the project I’m most proud of in my entire Jiu Jitsu career.

This book isn’t about techniques, belts, or shortcuts. It’s about understanding how learning actually works on the mat and why so many people struggle despite consistent effort.

Understanding Jiu-Jitsu is now available for pre-order.
Books will ship January 21st.

We also had an awesome night of training at our second home, Nisky Martial Arts & Family Center. Great energy, great rounds, and a room full of people putting in real work.

And stay tuned...we’re grinding behind the scenes every day getting Spa City Jiu-Jitsu ready. Big things are coming and we can’t wait to roll with everyone in our new home soon. 🔥🔥
