About Us: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tempe
Our Journey Begins in 2010
Welcome to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tempe, your go-to digital destination for all things related to the art and sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Founded in 2010, our website was born out of a passion to share and celebrate the transformative power of this martial art form. We started as a small online forum, bringing together enthusiasts and practitioners from Tempe, Arizona, and eventually expanded to become a comprehensive news platform covering BJJ globally.
Our Mission and Purpose
At Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tempe, we are dedicated to becoming the premier online resource for BJJ enthusiasts worldwide. Our mission is to bridge the information gap that exists in the digital landscape regarding this ancient yet evolving martial art. We strive to provide unbiased, accurate, and reliable content that educates, inspires, and connects individuals with their BJJ communities.
Our core values revolve around:
- Accuracy: We uphold the highest standards of journalistic integrity, ensuring all information is fact-checked and verified.
- Unbiased Reporting: Our articles present both sides of every story, offering an objective view of BJJ-related news and techniques.
- Community Building: We aim to foster a global community where practitioners can share experiences, knowledge, and the joy of BJJ.
Filling the Information Void
The internet, while brimming with content, often lacks in-depth, reliable resources dedicated solely to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Many sites either focus on sales or offer sparse, uncurated information. We noticed this gap and set out to create a central hub where practitioners, students, and enthusiasts could find accurate, up-to-date news, historical insights, technique breakdowns, and community discussions.
Our Target Audience and Impact
Our primary audience includes dedicated BJJ practitioners, coaches, instructors, and fans from all walks of life and skill levels. We serve both beginners seeking to understand the fundamentals and advanced practitioners looking for competitive edge or simply a place to share their experiences. Through our platform, we aim to:
- Educate: Provide in-depth guides, tutorials, and historical context to enhance understanding of BJJ.
- Inspire: Share stories of champions, up-and-coming talent, and everyday practitioners who embody the spirit of BJJ.
- Connect: Foster a sense of community by enabling discussions, sharing local event information, and creating a space for open dialogue.
