Just so everyone is clear, the things I post here are not the opinions of any of my instructors, schools, friends, families, employers, Facebook friends, frenemies, pets, or acquaintances. My inane ramblings are from my own head and don't reflect on anyone but me. Please if there are any concerns with anything I post use the comments section or email me directly at dave@jonesjiujitsu.com.
I discuss a ton of jiu-jitsu technique here and some of these techniques could cause grave injuries if not preformed properly. If you are planning to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu find a reputable instructor in your area that can teach you and make sure it is done in as safe a manner as possible. Please don't send me any photos or videos of you trying these techniques on your buddy on a blanket in your back yard. For every one of the videos on YouTube Rickson Gracie sheds a single tear.
I make no claims to be a jiu-jitsu master/ninja/bad ass government operative/Steven Seagal stunt double/handsomest man alive. I try as hard as I can, but I'm only a few years into a journey that should take the rest of my life. When I discuss a technique please feel free to comment with your experience and offer constructive advice but know I'm going off personal experience. If I can make it work for me I try to share it with the world, but please always take your instructors advice over that of some moron on the internet.
When I post I may use individuals names, I do this with the intention that anyone reading the post would not feel offended by my post. I will regularly use first names and discuss situations that come up during class with the intention of informing never embarrassing. I will often use instructors full names, specific school names, and those of common public figures in order to help increase awareness of them in the bjj community. If you are ever mentioned in a post and take issue, please contact me immediately and we will discuss what can be done.
Finally I operate the blog with the best intentions, I try to adhere to my good friend Jeff's maxim on all things.
Don't
Shame
The
Academy
Ever
With all this in mind, back to the internet hijinks.
