ROLL: Jiu-Jitsu in SoCal

Спорт

A documentary we put together following a short trip to California in late 2014. We met some amazing and inspiring people in the short time that we were there and this film is a slight glimpse into the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle in Southern California.
We hope that at some point in the future we will have the opportunity to visit more schools and places in the state and put together a more in depth film.
Hope you enjoy it.
A collaboration film between Eat Films & Progress Jiu-Jitsu
The trip was completely self-funded by James and myself and we are making the film available to watch for free online.
What we did decide to do was set up a Just Giving charity page, that way if anyone would like to donate they can do so and help a good cause. This can be found here:
www.justgiving.com/jamestighe/

www.progressjj.co.uk

    I was so fortunate to have some of the early Gracie Coaches bring me up in Jiu-Jitsu. Lowel and Richard from the original Gracie Torrance Academy were a huge influence over my initial jiu-jitsu career. I was one of the guys in the second waive, post UFC, and started in 1995. I haven't always been committed, I haven't always been consistent, but I'm still standing 25 years later. Heading to class now in fact! Looking forward to the next 25 years.

    I started training BJJ in 2001, 19 years later, the passion still there. When you get hooked with BJJ you just don't do it as a hobby. BJJ becomes your life, once you understand what BJJ is all about you will understand that anything is possible, on and off the mats.

    It was because of this film that I started training in BJJ 3 months ago after a lumbar injury took me out of Muay Thai. To this day, if I am frustrated with my "snail brain" (not remembering techniques), I watch this film and the following film "Jiu Jitsu vs. The World" (also from Eat Films), and get super- hyped to get on my Gi and belt and hit those mats. I look forward to training, getting tapped out by my partners- they are like big brothers, if they realize that or not, I don't care. That is how I see them all. I have such a huge appreciation for the lifestyle... So in love with this art. They say the opposite of addiction is connection. Jiu jitsu proves that they can come hand in hand.

    Great video. As a former kick boxer of nearly 20 years I always laughed at the "Jiu-Jitsu guys" because of ego and arrogance. I've been training in BJJ now for 6 months and I wish I had started 20 years ago. Take it from me who's fought killers in the ring... Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective and dangerous art form to have. Sure I can still to this day knock a man out standing but what if I was taken down? Game over. Great film!

After signing up my kids (5 and 7) my husband started training and eventually I caught the bug. It's the best thing that has ever happened to my family. I just turned 40, I have no former experience in any sort of anything, but BJJ has already changed my life and I can't imagine ever stopping.

    This was amazing, it took me over a year to sit down and watch the entire film but that’s life. I feel everything this film expresses and after focusing alittle over 5 years to the sport I feel it more everyday. It has made me a better human being and exposed me to great people and friends! Great watch, thank you for making it, with respect from the Midwest!

    Back in 1993 the Gracie family would always come to the store I was working at in Hawaii to shop and every time they saw me they would tell me to come and train. I never did not sure :(. I've always loved the beautiful art and seen the growth through the years. Great docu and it reinforces that I made the right decision. Now in 2015 I finally started training its only been a few days and its so addicting. My journey has just begun and hopefully I will be able to reach black belt status. Aloha!

    I got introduced to jujitsu while training at Fairtex in San Francisco. Jujitsu was introduced and anew student was telling g me about it. He offers to show me an example with a rear naked choke. Lol My eyes almost popped out of my head. I took my first class and was hooked! Jake Shields took over the jujitsu program and sure we all know how he excelled in jujutsu. Training jujitsu turned my life around, I learned what you can accomplish with hard work and consistency.

I've watched stuart coopers stuff which always leaves me inspired,this has more than achieved that for me. It's been worth the wait and can't wait for your next collaboration. I would love to see you release this on vimeo so I can download a copy as I had to wait until I got an Internet connection would love to have copy of this to watch off line, I'd contribute to download fee, bit like i have for stuart marcelo documentary.

    A really great video - by weird chance, I met Relson Gracie in Hawaii and took lessons with him in 1982. Then I started going to where Rorian and Royce taught in L,A, on Carson St. and was at UFC1! Then I got neck cranked by some huge wrestler and hurt my neck. I was only a white belt then but was lucky to see it all happen.
