I’ve been thinking of ways of creating more community here on JiuJiuBJJ.com and what that means. Part of it is getting folks to engage more. We have amazing folks who comment here, and the goal is to foster even more of that. I’d also like to encourage some lurkers to come out and say hello. […]

BJJ: the Gathering
I’m heading to Tokyo tomorrow to watch the Asia Open. Not participate, just watch. Turns out that my match would have been on Sunday, and I was flying out that afternoon, so I took the refund instead. But, I’ll be cheering on CupcakeArmbar! I also decided to make blogger cards. This was thought of and […]
Blogger/Blogspot Questions
I’ve been exclusively using WordPress.com or WordPress.org for a while now, and what I love about WP blogs is the ability to subscribe by email to the blog, or to subscribe to the comments on certain posts. I can’t figure this out with Blogspot. I leave comments and then forget which article I commented on – […]
BJJ and women: Unexpected Lessons from the Martial Arts
JiuJiu’s Note: Jenn from MAMA emailed me this article, and I wanted to support her! Attention all female martial artists! I am working on a collection of stories about women who train. The theme is “Unexpected lessons from the martial arts”, so I am specifically looking for things that are slightly outside the “typical” experiences […]
BJJ: Things I’m Excited about, September 2013 Edition
Happy Chuseok from Korea! Chuseok is a Korean holiday that gives people 5 days off in a row. It’s often described as a “Korean Thanksgiving.” At my school we dressed up in hanboks, traditional Korean costumes, and made some Korean toys. On to the BJJ stuff! 1. I’m going to the Asia Open! I bought […]
BJJ Blogs: Fighting Butterbee
I just came across this newbie BJJ-blog, Fighting Butterbee, and it hooked me! What a fun site. It’s by a 30-something year old nerdy gal in Australia who is a black sash in Kung Fu and white belt with 3 stripes in BJJ. Hehehe – she’s another SavageKitsune! ^_^ What initially impressed me most about […]
BJJ articles worth reading: How long it takes to get a black belt
I came across this article and wanted to share it. I’ve decided to start sharing more articles I think you’ll find interesting. It’s called “How Long It Takes to Get a Black Belt,” written by a Gracie Barra black belt over on the Aesopian BJJ blog. I wrote about this a while back in a […]
Congratulations to Leah on her PROMOTION
The camera never lies. Well, sometimes it does. Like if someone posts a picture of themselves wearing a brown belt and having received one stripe – some random blogger could see the picture that had no description and mistake the dark color for black, then post a congratulatory post about receiving their black belt. Man […]
Hello Saudi Arabia!
Where did you come from? Okay, clearly you’re from KSA, but not sure how you made your way to my corner of the Interwebs. Unless you’re from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Jeddah Spider Team. That’s right – Saudi Arabia has jiu jitsu! And in fact, I found out that on the Jeddah Spider team, they allow […]
BJJ Blogger Memes
So this last week I have been up until as late as 5am blogging about jiu jitsu. I will admit I have missed practice due to too much blogging. Last night I was up until 3am writing another blog post and as I went to bed I thought UGH – too tired for jiu jitsu […]
