The BJJ Journey Suitcase: Only Pack What Your Jiu-Jitsu Needs

A Complete System of Essential, Concepts and Techniques That Work Without Athleticism, Flexibility, or Youth

For BJJ Practitioners Who Want to Train Smarter, Not Harder

The BJJ Journey Suitcase

The BJJ Practitioner's Dilemma

Information Overload Without Direction

Every class introduces new techniques, YouTube shows countless more, and seminars offer even more options. But which ones actually work for your body now? Which ones are worth investing your limited training time to master? Without a system, you're collecting techniques that your body may not even be able to perform effectively.

Techniques That Demand Youth and Athleticism

The techniques demonstrated in class often rely on flexibility, explosiveness, or physical attributes you no longer have. Trying to force these movements leads to tweaked knees, strained backs, and injured shoulders – setting you back weeks or months in your training. There must be a more sustainable approach.

Limited Training Time With Maximum Pressure

You can't train 5 times a week like the younger guys. Between career responsibilities and family commitments, you're lucky to get in 2-3 sessions. This means you need every minute on the mat to count – but without a focused system, you're spending precious time on techniques that may never work for your body.

The One Bad Roll Away Reality

At your age, you're always one bad roll away from a significant injury. That explosive white belt who wants to prove himself? That purple belt who cranks submissions? Without the right technical system designed for longevity, each training session becomes a potential months-long setback rather than progress toward mastery.

WHY I CREATED THE SUITCASE

Chris Burns with Rickson Gracie

Chris "Bones" Burns

2nd Degree Black Belt under Rickson Gracie

For over a decade, I wandered through gym after gym trying to learn how to defend myself. Each gym, a new promise. Each promise, a new disappointment.

What I found was Jiu-Jitsu taught as a random collection of submissions, takedowns and scrambling which only favored the 'athlete'.

The physical toll was brutal. Two medial tendons snapped by a blue belt. Cracked ribs. Torn ligaments. Broken bones. I couldn't stand up straight for a few years because my spine was cracked pursuing a guard with an awesome name...

Every training session was like a fight to the death.

After more than a decade of searching, I found Rickson Gracie. There, I discovered the 'building blocks' of Jiu-Jitsu. That's when everything changed.

The Turning Point

I packed all of my stuff, lived out of my car, slept on couches, academy mats and empty beaches. I invested everything to learn from Rickson.

What I learned wasn't more techniques. It was understanding the fundamental principles that make Jiu-Jitsu work. Rickson showed me that true mastery comes from understanding the why behind each movement and focusing on the techniques that best apply these principles.

This is what makes less more. When you understand the principles, you don't need hundreds of techniques. You need the right techniquesβ€”those that leverage position and proper mechanics rather than strength and athleticism.

The Suitcase contains exactly these essential techniquesβ€”the ones that saved my body, transformed my training, and finally made Jiu-Jitsu work for me without having to be an athlete.

THE 6 KEY PRINCIPLES

These will become the only things you need to think about for the rest of your Jiu-Jitsu journey.
No more endless techniques. No more confusion. Just clarity and results.
