When learning Jiu-Jitsu, as with any skill, it's crucial that we start from the beginning. That's what we call the foundation: the fundamental concepts, principals, and techniques which lay the groundwork for whatever skill we are developing.

When building a skyscraper, you ALWAYS start with the foundation. And the taller the skyscraper, the deeper the foundation must be. The same is true for your Jiu-Jitsu.

This is why we built BJJ Foundation, an online Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals Curriculum available to the public. In this episode we talk about the process of building and releasing BJJ Foundation, and why a fundamentals-first approach is the best way to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
