Jiu-Jitsu Community Networking: Log 1

Thank you very much to all of those who participated in my very first Jiu-Jitsu Community Networking post that I did on Facebook this past Sunday. It was very cool to see how many people are really making Jiu-Jitsu part of their way of life, and I am happy to say that I will be doing this more regularly. Please feel free to continue to tag your pages and your brands in all of my bjj community posts going forward, and we’ll help build our little network together. 🙂

If you didn’t get a chance to share your BJJ/MMA/Grappling school, business or athlete page, please comment below and I will add people in whenever I am able to.
