What is the Jiu-Jitsu Brotherhood?

As a jiu-jitsoka you are a part of something special. You’re in an elite group of people who challenge themselves physically and mentally in ways most people can’t even imagine. If you use jiu-jitsu as a tool to help you understand yourself, to face your fears and to progress as a human being, then you are already a part of the Jiu-Jitsu Brotherhood.

The Jiu-Jitsu Brotherhood is a dojo without walls and without limits. It is a global community of BJJ practitioners who are united by a desire to share and learn by transcending the inherent limits of the ‘my school / team is best’ mentality. It was formed to help people remember that the art is about uniting people, not dividing them. JJB a way of thinking – a way to approach your training and competing in a way that helps your growth and the growth of your fellow martial artists. We offer our own insights about the journey. We are not claiming that we have found ‘the truth’, only that we have found ‘our truths’.

All the things jiu-jitsu has given us; the friends we have made, the confidence we have gained and the self-knowledge we have acquired – we want all martial artists to experience and share these things. Jiu-jitsu is not something that should be restricted on the basis of race, nationality, athletic ability or chosen team. It was made for you.

You are the Jiu-Jitsu Brotherhood.

Our Logo

The Ouroborus, an image of a serpent devouring its own tail, is one of the most ancient symbols known to man. It is often used to represent self-reflexivity. It was chosen as our symbol because, during his journey, the martial artist must come face to face with all aspects of himself.

Also, as the snake is mythologically one of the most intelligent of all animals, it fits well with jiu-jitsu – the thinking man’s martial art.
