by Cody Maltais on Apr 23, 2012 • Comments Closed

Or 50/50, or guard pullers, or de la Riva guard, or the over/under pass or pretty much any other move. The interest in the Berimbolo Sweep has been very amusing to me as of late. The jiu-jitsu community is constantly talking about this one move. However, all these conversations are...

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the Boundless Toolbox

by Marty-D on Apr 16, 2012 • Comments Closed

Brew-Jitsu note: Our staff has doubled! Read below for the first post from Marty. Tap! This is usually a notion that symbolizes an individual surrendering on the mat. Most people view the tap as a sign of an individual losing. However, in the jiu jitsu world there’s no such thing as a loss. Whether you defeat your opponent or...

Kyle yelled at me (via email) for not having any posts yet about beer. What can I say when you practice Jiu-Jitsu for 3-4 hours/day you develop a one track mind. But in order to placate Kyle I thought I’d write about my motivations behind getting into starting a craft brewery. So, why do you...
