This past weekend, 2 well deserving young men, Andy Miller and Troy Everett, received their blue belts at a seminar held at Mile High Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
Morgan is doing a great job and the technical level of the students is really impressive. If you ever go to Denver, look these guys up, you won’t be disappointed.
Keep up the good work guys, we will see you again soon!
It’s nice when good people get the recognition they deserve for their efforts. Leister is one of the good guys and a fantastic wrestling coach.
He has worked with many MMA fighters, including Shane Carwin, Georges St. Pierre, Nate Marquardt and Rashad Evans, just to name a few.
It is great to see Leister get some of the credit he deserves. Keep up the good work Leister!
Gritz and Yaddi have been great teammates for Ben Henderson and Efrain Escudero for years and now it’s their turn to shine. Both guys are tough fighters and good people and we wish them the very best in the auditions!
UNO had just 3 peated for the 3rd time in their history. At a time when they should be the most joyful, they received the terrible news that their program was to be cut.
Check out this story and support a valuable program.

Congratulations James!!
Hey guys! Each month we are going to feature one of our JCBJJ students and let you get to know them a little better.
As our first featured student, we would like to introduce DJ Saylor. DJ is a remarkable guy and has used BJJ and fitness to turn his life around.
DJ began his training when he was 396 lbs., stayed with it, and competed in a BJJ tournament at 175 lbs.!!
His incredible drive and perserverance was an inspiration to all of us and we are happy and proud to share his story.
Hope you enjoy the new feature!
Better late than never! Sorry about being a couple of days late on this month’s technique video, but it is worth the wait because Chris Z. took some time to show us his patented North/South choke that he has used very successfully in competition.
Thank you Chris, we hope you all enjoy the technique!
This weekend at the AZ Open, Ben did a quick interview with Gracie Magazine. It is great to see Ben get the recognition that he deserves!
