About This Book

“Are you going to go through life avoiding everything that makes you feel uncomfortable? What kind of life are you going to have then?” —Russell Brand Everyone wants to be great, but who is willing to pay the price? Jiu-jitsu is a sport with an old soul. It’s an oppositional encounter impossible to appreciate fully without understanding the grit, courage, and determination required for excellence. In Jiu-Jitsu Bravehearts, Bobby Armijo tells the stories of more than two dozen jiu-jitsu competitors and champions, revealing the tests they endured to become the best of the best. Collected from years of international travel and in-person interviews, these stories show that no matter their ranking, each martial artist has at least one thing in common: they never gave up. With insight from jiu-jitsu champions and celebrities who include Marcelo Garcia, Jocko Willink, Felipe Pena, and Russell Brand, Jiu-Jitsu Bravehearts is a peek behind the curtain at what it takes to be a legend in jiu-jitsu, and life.

Bobby Armijo

Bobby Armijo is not a world champion jiu jitsu credentialed author who you might think of to write about jiu jitsu. He dropped out of college 3 times when he finally committed to see the word ‘success’ world a different lens.
Through being an entrepreneur since a young age in different businesses, he realized there were various definitions to our happiness, and invariably more than one way to get there. Much like the martial art of jiu jitsu.
Over the years, the mentorship he received and constant path to self-improvement led to his passion to share the knowledge he’s learned from those that passed it to him. Teaching is the ultimate gift, and time is the one commodity we cannot replenish. For this reason alone, someone’s time should be cherished above all other replaceable ‘things’.
And, thus, teaching and sharing his story, and the stories of others for the rest of the world to embrace will always be his life’s calling.
Bobby splits time in both San Diego CA and Lake Tahoe NV with his two dogs, Hershey and Waffles.
