Here's a lengthy rant I put together on my background with the art and sport of Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I'm not a writer and I never blog so it's erratic and jumps around a quite a bit. Many of you have written me and I've made some friendships from having developed the site so I thought I would share a little about who I am, my history in the sport, some of my experiences (positive and negative) and my opinions about styles of teaching and things as trivial as terminology. Basically it's a brain fart. Please let me know your thoughts. These are just my opinions and they are not wrong or right, just what I believe. We are all entitled to them... click here to read the rest
CONGRATULATIONS TO RICKY LUNDELL!
Ricky Lundell closed out 2011 with 1,820 votes making him the most sought after BJJ
instructor of 2011.
Ricky received his black belt from Gracie Jiu-Jitsu living legend Pedro Sauer and was
picked up after winning the FILA Worlds by Olympic Wrestling Gold Medalist Cael Sanderson
and awarded a scholarship to wrestle for Sanderson at Iowa State University with no prior
wrestling background. Ricky is a multiple time FILA World Champion, Absolute Pancrase
World Champion, and currently the personal coach to UFC superstars Frank Mir, Dan Hardy,
Joe Lauzon, and many more. Professor Sauer also did well locking in 2011 at number 3 in
the rankings. Congratulations to Ricky and all of the instructors who have brought the
art and sport of BJJ so far.

3. Submitted by Gustavo reyes for A.J. Albert| Leave Comment Submitted on Thursday May 17, 2012 11:00 PM Patient, clear, knowledgeable about BJJ and in a very natural way able to transfer his love for BJJ to his student's- there exist no better instructor one could ask for. I am very fortunate to have found these kinds of qualities, thank you very much AJ.
4. Submitted by Montsy Hansack for A.J. Albert| Leave Comment Submitted on Thursday May 17, 2012 7:25 PM AJ is without a doubt an amazing instructor: he is patient, knowledgeable, personable and encourages students to learn on their own. As someone who lacks eye-body coordination, I truly appreciate AJ since he never hesitates to slow down and repeat himself when needed.
