Jiu Jitsu is Best Enjoyed with Friends

July 9, 2017

I do a lot of photo and video work for my day job but it’s getting more and more rare that I shoot for myself. A while back I invested in a BEASTGRIP PRO which acts as a modular mount for my phone. I can add all sorts of gizmos and microphones to this thing. I absolutely think that mobile video content creation is where literacy is moving. So… uh,  back to jiu jitsu.

If you haven’t tried Jiu Jitsu, you’re missing out big time.

Anyhow, I put together an edit of some friends at Jiu Jitsu League in Long Beach during open mat this past weekend. Apologies in advance if you’re on the receiving end of some punishment and can’t use this as proof of your awesomeness on the mats. Don’t worry, we all look lame at some point in our lives.

Everything shot on iPhone 7plus with a Moondog anamorphic lens on a BEASTGRIP PRO with a RODE VideoMic Pro using FiLMiC PRO.

Music credit goes to my all time favorite part-time musician and all around good dude, Gabe Schamberg.

I remember so desperately needing people to photograph to make work and develop my style, but I wasn’t having much luck finding people beyond the weirdos on Model Mayhem and Craigslist. Having […]

What Happens When You Don’t Tap

Unfortunately, I’m taking a month off from jiu jitsu. Between empty pocket syndrome and a lack of time, November is gonna be a month away from the mats. At class last night, I brought my camera (as I’ve been known to do) and decided to shoot the last two rolls of the class. As it […]

It’s no secret that I grew up skateboarding and worshipping all my favorite pro skaters. I remember hanging out at United Boardshop for hours when I was a teenager. I was allowed to go behind the cases and help out around the shop. I still remember when Chomp On This came out on VHS. It […]
