Currently  a 3 stripe white belt based and practicing Jiu jitsu out of Queens New York. I have  been training BJJ (and MMA) more consistently since 2016  and as I continue to train and compete, little by little I find myself Identifying  more and more with this honorable community. This site  serves as an outlet to the grappling world, but tailored more towards my own  humble perspective of it.

As I grow older and further into this Art, so I expect my perspective of Jiu jitsu grow and change.  My goal is to use this site as an expression of that perspective.

As an effort to progress and hone my skills I will be documenting and studying my  own training/open mats, technique and drill sessions. The use of this site serves as an outlet to the grappling community as a whole, and a place to share valuable insight with each other.

Jitsgods is designed to touch on a little bit of everything, exploring the Gentle Art  from different perspectives with different styles and inputs . All the while absorbing what is most useful and promoting the Jiu jitsu culture with respect and honor.

I will be posting video brake downs of my own training sessions as well as others critiquing pros and cons, all in the effort to educate my self. However I encourage everyone to check it out.  Check in for Bjj apparel, list of upcoming tournaments,  and info on awesome Jujitsu academies in Queens.

Oss,

Mervyn.
