Wed, 2013-01-23 14:16 — Benjamin Bieker

While drug testing has not been done in most BJJ tournaments, it looks like the IBJJF is trying to level the playing field for their first big tournament of the year. That is because at the Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championships, planned to be held from March 20-24, the IBJJF is going to have an anti-doping testing program implemented. The testing is going to be done by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

Fri, 2013-01-18 16:05 — Gumby

I had posted this on my Facebook page a few days ago, bait more off the cuff from my usual style, with the intent of expanding on this later. But I am reposting this here on OTM word for word.

"Give a horrific and tragic turn of events in our community of Jiu Jitsu, I've had a number of conversations and have been asked to share my thoughts with quite a few people. I am shook by what happened as well, and I'm measuring my response now to be thoughtful and responsible.
