The fundamental Jiu-Jitsu lesson Jeff Curran learned from Master Pedro Sauer

Jeff Curran teaches: “Athletes first, always” means every decision we make is built around giving competitors the best possible experience. That starts with fair, meaningful matchups based on experience — not just belt rank. Our rules push action and create clear outcomes, so athletes always have a real chance to win. We also prioritize professionalism—tight scheduling, high-level referees, and a well-run event—because these athletes put in serious time to prepare.

Professor Daniel Ignacio: when self-defense turns into gold in BJJ championships

"Training prepared agents goes far beyond simply being technically ready for a conflict. Thanks to Jiu-Jitsu, agents are created with self-control and self-confidence, who can deal with real situations calmly, clearly and ethically. My greatest responsibility is to make these professionals better trained, so that they can protect themselves and the population. This training is both technical and mental. A good security professional, trained in Jiu-Jitsu, can transform a potentially lethal situation into a non-lethal one, saving and sparing the lives of others. A police officer trained in Jiu-Jitsu, in many situations, does not need to use a firearm to defend himself, which offers security that goes beyond carrying a weapon. Thus, Jiu-Jitsu can be used to prevent the escalation of conflicts, where, through technical control, we can protect both the security agent and the citizen. All of our training is adapted to the realistic environment of the public or private security forces for which we are offering this training", says Daniel Ignacio at GRACIEMAG.com
