Pop art and graffiti culture in America today would not be the same without the works of Keith Allen Haring. Haring is an icon in the street art world and began his works in New York during the 1980s. He first received attention while in New York for his white chalk drawings on black advertisement backboards in the train stations. He sees the subways as his “laboratory” where he could experiment and create his artwork. From there he began to hold exhibitions at places such as Club 57. His name …

For some people in the jiu jitsu community, jiu jitsu is more than just training, competing, and winning.

Brenda has been training for about 11 years and received her black belt under Presa Jiu Jitsu. In her 11 years being involved with the BJJ community, she became inspired by the great Leticia Ribeiro to begin her ow …

I started training in 2012 under Burak Değer Biçer (Corvos Combat) and attended 2013 Europeans as a white belt. After attending to Europeans I got extremely impressed by the atmosphere there and decided to quit college and become a full time athlete.

But I knew I had to take that decision sooner or later, the same decision I took before I sta …

Attaining a knack for being successful in one sport is impressive in itself, but being successful in two separate sports is on another level. Tom Knox has proved to have done just that in BJJ and skating. Tom has recently won pans for the third year in a row at the masters black belt medium heavy division and has been a well-known figure in the skating community. Tom’s hot streak at pans began in 2016. The previous two years, he won the tournament at the middleweight division. T …

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has become a silver lining for many of the youth in Brazil. Giovanna Caxias Canuto found the sport at only 7 years old in Manaus, Brazil. She contacted Hector Vasquez of Cobrinha BJJ, saying that she wanted to train with Cobrinha himself in the states; after Pans Kids, however, Giovanna decided to train under Hector Vasquez in Vegas where she made a great addition to his team. Although she's only been training there for 5 months, Hector shared with us that she t …
