Intro

The Reason I've chosen the title "Relentless Jiu Jitsu" is because of a quote I read from Jean Jacques Machado. To paraphrase, "I am always attacking. Instead of shooting with a revolver, I am shooting an uzi." Another quote from Marcelo Garcia stated that, "if you are ever defending, you are losing the match at that point. you must always attack". These 2 philosophies have become my attacking style and the way I train. I am always moving, always looking for the submission.


Purpose:
For starters, this will be a blog about BJJ and Judo. I will try to post pics and vids my techniques, techniques I've found on the web, and some tournament footage. This blog's purpose is to share the information I've learned so far and to get honest feedback about them.

Background:
I've been training in Martial arts since about 2001. I've studied BJJ that entire time and Muay Thai off and on for roughly the same period. I have just recently started judo. Prior to that, I wrestled in highschool for 4 years.

Instructors:
BJJ: My direct instructor is Steve Grantham at Phoenix Martial Arts. We are part of the Pedro Sauer association. I have also trained with Paul Creighton, Alan Baker, and Jorge Jimenez and I've attended seminars held by Renzo Gracie, Matt Serra, Helio Gracie, Ryron Gracie and Ralek Gracie. I will try to give credit to the appropriate instructor as I show a technique but since some techniques will be blended together, it may prove difficult.
Muay Thai: Steve Grantham and Angie Harvey are my direct instructors. We are part of the Thai Boxing Association of America which is Ajarn "Chai" Sirisute's association.
Judo: I've trained under Steve Grantham, Alan Baker and Sensei Bob Byrd.
