The Jiu-Jitsu Fighter's 3rd Anniversary

the Jiu-Jitsu Fighter Blog turned three on July 18th. This will be the 565th post since we first got started. There has been about 196,200 visits with about 200 visitors per day.

I'd like to thank all of our regular contributors. Most of all, I want to thank all of our loyal readers. The blog, along with the YouTube videos, has created quite a following.

We've come a long way at Roseberry's martial Center. A few years back, three to be exact, I set out on a journey to promote Jiu-Jitsu in our community and in the Midwest. We have succeeded in creating relationships and bonds within the BJJ community that span multiple states. With the help of many dedicated students and dojo members, we created Battle on the Plains Jiu-Jitsu Tournament. I'm a regular referee for another tournament. Through hard work and dedication, we also now have Jiu-Jitsu included as an event in the Cornhusker State Games. Our students are competing at tournaments within our state, as well as traveling to compete nationally.

In the beginning, if someone wanted to find information about Jiu-Jitsu training in Lincoln, it was virtually impossible. Our advertising was primarily by word of mouth. A lengthy Google search would not readily reveal that Roseberry's was the only school in Lincoln to learn Jiu-Jitsu. There were no BJJ schools and I believe that's still true today.

My goal was to get our school's name out there so that people could easily find us and see what we do. I created this blog and began posting information about our school. The goal of all of this was to make friends, share information and be a part of the growing community. We are succeeding and will continue to be an on-line presence.

Thank you to all who have helped share in the growth of Jiu-Jitsu.
