What is Flowframe Jiu-jitsu
I originally created this site to be a host for a match review service and while I still want that to be a part of it, I also have expanded my goals for this site. My first goal is to further the Jiu-jitsu community. I have been practicing Jiu-jitsu for quite a while now, and I have noticed that there has been a precipitous drop in schools cross training with each other over the years. In my experience it used to be very common, now I rarely see it, at least in the location I am in. I want to make connections with people both in my area and in other places to help build those bridges of Jiu-jitsu community to help share Jiu-jitsu with as many people as possible. The other things I want to do with this site is share my teaching of Jiu-jitsu with as many people as possible. I enjoy teaching and hope I can help people in their Jiu-jitsu journey.
