As we all know, the sport of BJJ is always changing and evolving. Every competition is another opportunity to unleash a new move or attack, and the natural response that follows is, "How do we learn said attack and develop a solution for it?" I talk about trends in the sport, both old and new, kids’ BJJ, and staying ahead of the curve. I also discuss my most recent competition (Grappling Industries Vancouver) and some other current issues, such as Derek Moneyberg, Tim Kennedy's stolen valor, Ben Askren, Randy Couture, and antifascist freedom fighters, in the comments section.

Owning and operating a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school is both a labour of love and a huge responsibility. Speaking from 10 years of experience running my own academy, I talk about the biggest myths that I heard surrounding gym ownership. Some topics of discussion are kids programs, building customer loyalty (the right way), ordering gear overseas, building profit, and big name affiliations.

Simply put, if you want to thrive in the modern BJJ landscape, you absolutely must understand and be able to utilize the kipping escape.

The long step pass is one of the best guard passes in all of Jiu Jitsu, and is one of the premier guard passes used by the AOJ team.

Years ago, leg locks were considered taboo in the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. While they are widely accepted as effective and fair today, they still remain taboo for children. So naturally, I felt it my duty to think outside the box and begin teaching my kids competition team leg attacks! I discuss why leg locks are important for kids, training safely in the practice room, important tips and concepts, and my favourite leg lock games and drills for kids.
