Jorge Santos: Adventures In Jiu Jitsu, is a zero budget 'passion project' which looks into JSBJJ, based in Ireland with affiliates in Sweden, Hungary and Mexico. What started out as a short promo video turned into something much bigger.
Once Jorge Santos and I started talking in his kitchen, I had the bare minimum of equipment with me. Jorge and I discussed his journey through the world of Jiu Jitsu, the opportunities and friendships it has given him along with the many challenges in getting to where he is today. In Episode 1: Origins and Uncle Sam, Jorge talks about how he originally got into Jiu Jitsu and his subsequent trip to the 2007 World Championships in Long Beach, Los Angeles. In Episode 2: Leaving On A Jet Plane, Jorge talks about plans to follow his Jiu Jitsu dreams and leave Brazil, heading to Europe. Not an easy decision, especially leaving family. Jorge also recalls the many challenges he faced in the beginning and how through the support of those closest to him, he ultimately found his way.
