When choosing a Martial Arts School beware of fraudulent claims made by some local schools offering Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu programs. Instructors should be able to easily prove without a doubt their experience and belt rank, from a credible source. Also, don't sell yourself short by being conned into signing up for just a "no-gi" program. Every top level jiu-jitsu fighter in MMA has mastered the "gi game". The school you chose should offer you training in both gi and no-gi fighting.

The Jiu-Jitsu that I created was designed to give the weak ones a chance to face the heavy and strong."
