BJJ History
Report
Grappling, or ground-fighting, has been around for as long as men have fought and played- two kids scuffling around on the ground is a cultural universal. There are few areas of the world that lack a native grappling art; whether that art focuses on throwing, pinning, or submission, or calls itself wrestling, judo, sambo, or jiu jitsu, the common feature is an attempt to dominate a resisting opponent without the use of strikes.

Report
I met Jim in Tokyo some years ago, and his passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was obvious, and infectious. I started training at a local Academy, but didn't feel I was getting enough personal attention, so I began taking private lessons with Jim when he launched Yojimbo BJJ.
Almost immediately, my "game" took off, as his encyclopedic knowledge of technique, and his ability to communicate concepts, helped me overcome the hurdles and sticking points that had held me back previously.Great man, great teacher. When I moved to NYC to attend school last year, my concerned parents urged me to sign up for some kind of self-defense course.
