Hey All,

Chris Hoff and I have been organizing BJJ events around InfoSec conferences for the last 5-6 years. Particularly during RSA and BlackHat USA. We've learned a lot of good stuff in the process, especially things that keep something like this extremely fun and also very importantly… safe. We all want to be to go back to work the next day uninjured and still be friends. ;)

Location: We typically pick an academy physically close to the conference, but also one where they tend wear Gis. Mostly because they are more the "martial artist" personality and don't have something to prove like in the No-Gi MMA places. If you don't own a Gi, it's still no problem. You can train NoGi and a lot of place have rentals if you need.

Who Can / Should Come: We've always been open to anyone coming, even those who've never trained BJJ before. We've both been doing this for years, understand how injuring prone the sport is, and know how to make sure the beginners don't get hurt or hurt each other. So we'll have everyone from white belts to black bets in the crew. No one comes to "compete" or "win," but to learn and have fun. That's it.

Chris, anything to add?

Jeremiah Grossman
