I am sorry that I have not posted in a long while! The second day of class most of the guys were sick. That then took me out of work and class for a week and a half. When I was finally better and ready to go back to class it felt like I was starting all over again, but I still love going and have loads of fun. I am now taking Jiu Jitsu classes on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and if there is an open mat on Sundays I will go to that too.
I’m pleased to announce that Fighting Is Your Friend has partnered with Yamasaki Woodbridge and the Bad Ass Coffee Company to bring you Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tutorial Videos. These videos have been created specially for Fighting Is Your Friend. We have also setup a YouTube Channel for these, and any future, videos that are created specifically for this site. Please keep watching, as we will try to add more/new videos on a regular basis.
A shock went through the martial arts world yesterday as news came out that Jiu Jistu Master Helio Gracie was dead. He died at age 95, in a hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Master Gracie was best known for his work in bringing Jiu Jitsu to Brazil, and then to the rest of the world. He was truly a legend, and will be missed.

A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu video today. I have the feeling that I’ve posted this one before, and if I have I apologize (but please leave a comment on the forums and let me know).
