Hello, I'm Brandon Kelvey, the creator of Jitsology 101, and I'm here to guide and support you as you undertake your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey. I'm honoured to hold a first-degree black belt under Carlson Gracie Junior. Alongside my passion for BJJ, I'm a professional physiotherapist, holding a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a Master of Science in Physiotherapy. I'm also a certified 200hr yoga teacher.
What sets me apart is my specialization in working with BJJ athletes and addressing BJJ-specific injuries in my physiotherapy practice. This expertise directly benefits my clients at Jitsology 101. My approach to BJJ transcends the mat. I emphasize mobility, strength training, and kettlebell conditioning to complement your BJJ journey, offering a holistic approach to conditioning and movement. BJJ isn't just a sport; it's a way of life for me. It's tested me physically, mentally, and emotionally, fostering a constant drive for self-improvement and providing a means to stay active and resilient as I age. I'm wholeheartedly committed to leveraging my knowledge to help you navigate the early challenges of the sport, ensuring you become stronger, injury-resistant, and fully relish the journey.
My teaching philosophy is as follows:
Prioritize fundamental movements before delving into technique.
Emphasize core engagement and optimal body mechanics.
Present time-tested, scalable techniques without overwhelming you with options.
Ensure every technique learned connects to the bigger picture.
Extend unwavering support throughout your journey.

What is BJJ?
Training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a transformative journey that brings a multitude of benefits, not only to your physical well-being but also to your mental, emotional, and social life.
History of the sport
BJJ is a martial art and combat sport that originated in Brazil in the early 20th century. It is often referred to as "The Gentle Art" due to its focus on leverage, technique, and submission holds rather than brute force.
BJJ has its roots in Japanese martial arts, specifically Judo and Japanese Jiu-Jitsu. In Japanese, "Ju" means "gentle," and "jutsu" means "art," collectively forming the name "The Gentle Art." Traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, founded in the 1530s, was practiced by samurais during feudal Japan, encompassing both grappling and striking techniques.
