ju-jitsu-changed-mylife- Ju Jitsu is a form of wrestling, a ground-based martial art where bouts are won by submission. Submitting an opponent, is done by putting them in a terrible pain position, limb break positions, or choke out positions. It’s a technique-over-strength mental strategy game where each session of play is unique.

ju-jitsu-ND Ju Jitsu was heavily developed in the modern age by the Gracie family in Brazil, and other Brazilian families like the Machado Brothers.

Sambo, a Russian style of wrestling or ground fighting is a very similar, less known style that was taught to Russian special agents, and there are other relative forms of ‘submission grappling.’

The input and output between two practitioners is well balanced and the stretch and resistance training of the muscles and tissues is complete, creating an optimal physical condition ready for what the day has in store, and more. An important complex mind to muscle connection is achieved, and through practice can be mastered. Ju Jitsu practice installs helpful cognitive action thinking, which is well connected to the arts, and the parts of the body, and applicable to all aspects of the student’s life. Ju Jitsu is a modern established and available art and practice that can help Nutritional Diversifists get all the angles covered, in regularity, available in pretty much in every city on the globe today.

Modern Development & Practice

The Gracie Family started the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) which is now a main display in any major sports network or publication. Ju Jitsu is now a major sport, both on it’s own and in the UFC. The UFC still features heavily the Gracie inspired and taught dominant art form of Brazilian Ju Jitsu today.

Ju Jistu is something I have done for many years now. I first learned it from the best fighting & Ju Jitsu instructor in the world, Greg Jackson, in my home town of Albuquerque, NM. This was back in 1998 thru 2003. It has been something along with boxing and kickboxing, that I have resorted to for fun, staying out of trouble and on a straight course in life. I would like to add that I have seen these combat sports, martial arts, boxing, and cultural disciplines like them to be the most effective positive element in the lives of troubled youth.

When I say that Greg Jackson is the best Jiu Jitsu, or grappling, (or Gaidojitsu originally in this case- when I was at the school) coach in the world, it is not just because I love him, and have the utmost respect for him – it’s because he IS the best ground game coach on this planet. That’s right he is coach to Jon “Bones” Jones (UFC Heavy Weight Champ of The World), Holly Holmes, Keith “Dean of Mean” Jardine, Diego “Nightmare”Sanchez and Donald “Cowboy” Cerone, any many other world champions and greats in the sports arenas like the UFC that heavily feature this art. Learning from the visionary Greg Jackson who brought Jiu Jitsu to New Mexico pretty much, has given me an advantageous and visionary mindset that goes with my Jiu Jitsu that I am also very thankful for. When I was at Greg’s, it was small school, his daughter would be bouncing the ball, his small ford hatchback was out front, and he used to turn the heat up in there on us, creating the mats which he made himself, into an overcrowded slip and slide. It was great! This Jiu Jitsu was his true passion, as Nutritional Diversity is mine, and his sacrifice and devotion to it – millions upon millions are now thankful. AND now everyone in Albuquerque, which has always been the town of the ‘Billy the Kid’ tough guy, who takes nothing from no one, the largest Pueblo vs. Spanish revolt in the Americas also, the all around toughest people on the rock today pretty much all now know some Jiu Jitsu too! Thanks Coach!

I started this article in September, 2016 while I enjoyed the memories of all the gyms and the guys and gals in them from my past 18 years that I have been walking into fight gyms. At this time I was very motivated to run because of being near my home elevation (8k ft.) in the beautiful mountains near San Jose, Costa Rica. Before long, I attended a few of many Ju-jitsu groups in that area three times a week, and I frequented the many health clubs and gyms across the city. I was in this area one month but I had ran it, went ballin’ a few times, and toured many gym clubs in the area with my good friend Derrik, a finance professional from Philadelphia where i once developed some properties..

Now I finish the article here in beautiful Panama City a few years later while really reflecting on exactly how much I appreciate learning this art, especially over the last few years

Ju Jitsu Healing

Long story short, I experienced a huge terrible family disaster that had me laid up for 5 years. In order to summarize it, I tell people that, I may as well have been hit with a truck, in fact I would have rather been hit with a truck than experience what I did. I may never completely heal from it. It was quite the gruesome disaster, one that has rendered many a tough man in a state of traumatic inability to function for life.

Ju Jitsu really helped get me and my life back on track, and my appreciation and respect of the art and those who have helped me with bettering it throughout the last 20 years is constantly growing.

Across Central America while traveling and only in the area briefly, I have been able to just walk in work out, chat with a few other patrons, get a shake and leave with out a charge for the day use or a membership. Ju Jitsu and martial arts clubs traditionally consider the first couple days free to try it out. So this is a great way to get a diverse set of gym and school experiences if your constantly on the move and the road like I have always been.

brazilian-ju-jitsu-nd I had to write about this particular ancient art, that has relieved me of the need for chiropractics, chess, and likely lots of stress therapy.

This Ju Jitsu is constantly being added to and evolved, it’s a popular and highly utilized art now, that gets plenty of modern adaptations. Traveling around from gym to gym I have noticed certain clubs have club-wide strengths, and individuality that is shared and represented by it’s team members to a degree. I find Ju Jitsu practitioners everywhere to be highly intelligent, genuine, creative and productive people, fond of ability, discipline and integrity.

Jiu Jitsu / Jujitsu

Jiu Jitsu is the triumph of human intelligence over brute strength.

Grand Master Helio Gracie

The art is said to have been originally devolved to help smaller weaker persons defend against larger stronger ones. It is truly what it was designed to be and more.

ju-jitsu-practice-nd Over the last 30 years the popularity of this art has been in nuclear chain reaction across the globe, the world Ju Jitsu community is large, and almost every city in the world now has Ju Jitsu studied in some capacity, and there are several heavy petitions to see it become an Olympic sport like Judo is. The art itself has become some of the most advanced physical sciences on the planet, and the more serious practitioners of it are some of the healthiest and most dexterous, and dedicated athletes in existence. Is one of these things that can be shown to anyone, and receive a great deal of respect and appreciation instantly.

This is for everyone, beginners, advanced, old and young. It’s a highly technical, slow practiced, art of human balance and contact, a dance if you will, of unlimited possible body movements.The form itself in action pushes the artist into new spots, and ideas and mental to muscles stimulation that connect and network-up the creative cognition of the mind.

I do also believe it is a responsibility in life to learn to defend yourself in anyway, and having that confidence builds character for application to many situations daily.

Feed Your Head Ju Jitsu

It can become a lifestyle, and can help create a successful level of discipline to be employed during the entire life’s goals and dreams and daily routines. The results of Ju Jitsu practice are often times profound transformations of people’s lives. After practicing Ju Jitsu for more than a year the benefits become very clearly measured and exceptional!

Ju Jistu is what I call a helio-gracie-nd power key. It is able to unlock an incredibly advantageous set of powers or abilities. It really does work-out every little inch of the body in a great diverse set of ways. It brings people together into a serious concentrated cerebral, physical connection that all by itself unlocks a deeper understanding of the body and of self.

Experts in Ju Jitsu have realized the cognitive parallels of the powerful help Ju Jitsu learned thinking has given them in all aspects of their lives.

The game of Ju Jitsu itself, pushes it’s practitioners to go to new bounds, and helps one gain new levels of cardiovascular health and flexibility.

Ju Jitsu to Stay Well Grounded

The humility of a true champion.

Ju Jitsu is not just a ground art, but it keeps your emotional, metaphysical, and physical planes into a well grounded state of being. It is a natural and constant implementation of humility. Texts throughout time, from the Tibeten Book of the Dead (a personal favorite) to self happiness guides of the latest cutting edge ideologies in self help and optimization, recognize humbleness as a virtue representative even of the gates of assent. There certainly is a graduation if you will that happens with the stripping of our ego in a truly dedicated and invested manner, that is irreversible in that once a certain cognition is understood and achieved you can’t go forward ignorant of that understanding – now you understand it and short of head trauma or digestive brain disease the understanding stays with you. That’s not to say that without practice and continued dedication to some degree that one can’t fall away from Ju Jitsu and it’s benefits.

I simply cannot offer a complete nutritional guide, or human optimization guide, and health system without mentioning Ju Jitsu practice in it.

Entitled people are some of the worst, we have all faced the entitled that will lie on us, try to use us, do it little kids, I don’t find that here in the Ju Jitsu gym.

All About the Discipline

Most martial arts programs, and societies have realized the benefits of cultivating general discipline and inner iron will, and one way to help do this is to practice other individual disciplines and arts. In adult classes it mostly successful happy people walking in and out of martial arts clubs everywhere in the world, or every kind of discipline you can think of.

Other helpful physical regimes I recommend to implement in this cause are massage therapy, meditation, chi-gong, a form of striking and yoga.

So here it is, the Ju Jitsu piece,

Better Supplement Taking

Powdered supplements can bind with real foods in smoothies, and soak and process better this way.

Why Powdered Supplements Bind and Work Better with Real Foods in Smoothies

Powdered supplements are often isolated compounds — vitamins, minerals, amino acids, adaptogens, enzymes, proteins, etc. — that are highly concentrated but not always naturally bioavailable on their own. Meaning: your body might not absorb or utilize them as efficiently unless they are delivered in a more natural, whole-food matrix.

What Happens When You Blend Supplements into Real-Food Smoothies

You Create a Natural “Carrier Matrix”
Real foods — fruits, vegetables, seeds, and roots — are rich in enzymes, fibers, fats, and natural cofactors that help escort nutrients through digestion.
When powdered supplements are blended into these foods, the compounds get absorbed into the moisture, the fibers, and the fats of the smoothie, mimicking how nutrients appear in nature. This improves uptake.
You Pre-Hydrate and Activate the Powdered Compounds
Powders in dry form are inert. When you soak or blend them into liquids (especially with plant enzymes), you start the breakdown process. This makes the nutrients more “bioactive,” or ready to be absorbed, especially in the gut.
You Reduce Digestive Stress
Isolated powders can sometimes be harsh — especially on empty stomachs. But when mixed with food, the digestive system treats the whole mixture more like a meal, not a foreign chemical. This allows for smoother digestion and better assimilation.
You Enhance Synergy
Some nutrients need companions to be absorbed properly:
- Fat-soluble vitamins (like A, D, E, K) absorb better when fat is present (like from coconut, nuts, seeds)
- Minerals like magnesium and zinc are better absorbed with amino acids or acids (like lemon, greens, or fruit acids)
- Protein and adaptogens are more effective when metabolized slowly alongside real fiber and phytonutrients
So, adding your powdered supplement to a smoothie enhances the synergy of multiple nutrients working together — just like nature intended.

HEY!!! CLEAN WATER IS NUMBER 1!!!

Example: Jungle Juice Style Smoothie

Water or coconut water
1 scoop powdered supplement (diverse formula)
Banana or papaya (enzymes + potassium)
Wild greens or herbs (cofactors, chlorophyll) [!!HIGH DIVERSITY!!]
Seeds or nut butter (healthy fats for absorption) (lectins [i] destroyed if pressure-cooked, powdered, or buttered in seeds)
Splash of citrus or vinegar (acid for mineral absorption) (or not)
Blend = Bioactive powerhouse

Bottom Line:

Powdered supplements are just the start. The real alchemy happens when they bind with real food.

Blending them into smoothies:

Mimics natural digestion
Enhances bioavailability
Boosts effectiveness
Reduces stress on the gut
Unlocks the full potential of the formula

You’re not just taking a supplement.
You’re feeding your body intelligently.

Nutritional Diversity Supplements, A New Age of Nutrition is Here

A New Age of Nutrition Is Here

Most nutritionists don’t know how nutrition is actually cultivated in nature.
They don’t understand ecosystems — they understand isolated compounds.
They don’t build vitality — they prescribe boxes.

Much like modern agriculture, today’s nutrition field is dominated by shortcuts and chemicals. Synthetic vitamins, mass-produced crops, sterile soils, and monoculture mindsets. These systems cheat nature — and nature always pushes back.

The consequences?
Wrecked soil. Broken guts. Fragile immune systems. A sick planet and a sick population.
Not just humans — but animals, microbes, insects, and even fungi are caught in the backlash.

We Are Building a Better Way

At Nutritional Diversity, we don’t accept that.
We’ve outperformed mainstream systems — in the jungle, in the gym, in healing, in every measure that counts.

We are now entering the supplement space not to compete… but to replace.
We will use today’s manufacturing only as a bridge — our long-term mission is to build a completely new:

Sourcing network
Cultivation ecosystem
Ingredient preparation system
Manufacturing + probiotic delivery model

Rooted in nature’s complexity, not synthetic simplicity. [i]

From Monocultures to Permacultures

We are converting monoculture zones into regenerative permaculture ecosystems,
restoring biodiversity and unlocking the real medicine — nutrient-dense, wild-aligned food.

We’re not just making supplements.
We’re starting a nutritional revolution that frees people from the centrally controlled food system — one capsule, one field, and one mind at a time.

Join the Movement

This isn’t just about health.
It’s about reconnection.
To the soil.
To the body.
To the Source.

We are recruiting new souls to the love we were separated from.
Our vision is enormous — and enormously important.

Let’s build it.
Together.

ABSTRACT:

We could make an extreme picot go down the path of ecological enhancement and create an Avatar Movie-like wonderland paradise.
We could come up with an easy-to-make one-issue voter system to where we can take a fingerprint and multi-source verified vote on issues like involvement in conflicts, or new agriculture projects such as a Department of Nature, or genius Diodynamic farming proposals.
We could go down the path of industry, tech advancement, interstellar endeavors, and exterior adventures.
We could continue to go down the path of selfishness, war, and ego.
