What YOU can get HERE
Free Community: Joining is completely free. Post questions here, share thoughts, interact with me and the crew from Concept Jiu-Jitsu here. It's low-pressure—just a spot to connect and talk shop. You also get access to Grappling Study Guides. I started putting together short, technical study guides with annotated images. These aren't fancy videos; they're deliberate. Your brain has to figure out how to connect image A to image B, which forces active processing and better retention. In my experience, this beats passively watching video. Tier 1: $15 for a year – Distance Learning Program This is the core way to follow my curriculum without showing up in Clearwater. Every month we run a focused theme at the gym—same as what the in-person guys are drilling. You get: Full recorded lessons with detailed notes Breakdowns, key drills, and live examples Ability to ask questions and train along remotely It's structured, progressive, and keeps you on track. Tier 2: $50/month Everything in Tier 1, plus: A big library of extra videos outside the current monthly curriculum (old lessons, bonus breakdowns, alternative angles, etc.) Video review: Upload your own rolling clips (or drills), and we'll go over them together—one-on-one via Zoom or email. Direct feedback, what you're doing right, what needs work, and how to fix it. If you're grinding to get better and want structure + eyes on your game without traveling, this is built for that.

What's up grappling nerds -Who AM I?
I've been grappling almost daily since 2009. From 2012–2022, I spent a decade at ATOS Jiu-Jitsu HQ in San Diego under Andre Galvao, earning my black belt there. For three of those years, I went full-time: training multiple sessions a day, six days a week, while using the GI Bill to pretend I was a college kid for about two hours a week. That stretch at ATOS during its peak was unusual even by BJJ standards. I got to train every day with the absolute best in the world at their prime—Andre Galvao, JT Torres, Keenan Cornelius, the Mendes Brothers, the Miyao Brothers, Josh Hinger, and more. I was in every major camp: ADCC, Worlds, Pans, superfights. It gave me real exposure to a ton of high-level styles and approaches. In 2022 I moved to Clearwater, Florida, and opened Concept Jiu-Jitsu. Since day one, I've been recording our classes and sharing the footage with gym members. Reviewing the material outside of mat time is hands-down the fastest way to make concepts stick and see actual progress. This platform extends that same approach to anyone outside the gym walls. You'll get regular class lessons, detailed study guides (honestly, these beat videos alone for retention), and live rolling footage. For the real nerds who want to go deeper, you can upload your own rolling clips and we'll break them down together—one-on-one feedback. This is the kind of resource I wish existed when I was grinding it out. By joining you are supporting me, the gym, and investing inyourself.
Drill Sheet
During the long weekend, with the help of Claude I made this skill. It a tool that turns any BJJ instructional videos (almsot, ideally with sound and subtitle) into a cheat sheet so you stop forgetting everything the second you leave the mats. So, if you are using an AI assitant, give it a try. And share me with your feedbacks. Feed it a video with a Youtbe link or bilibili.com and it spits out an illustrated study sheet — step-by-step breakdown, actual freeze-frames of the key positions, notes on what to feel for, and a big "if you only remember ONE thing" callout up top for when your brain is fried after a hard roll. Every step links straight back to the exact timestamp in the video too, so no more scrubbing through 40 minutes trying to find "that one detail on the far-side hook." Works with Claude, Codex, whatever AI you've got — it's just a skill file, drop it in and go. Built it drilling my own instructionals, figured y'all are drowning in the same "I definitely watched a video on this" amnesia.
