Based on personal experience, I don't care much for JJJ. That being said that Ari guy seems to be a good teacher. From what I gather he does seem to have a pretty big ego and an Eddie Bravo worshipping problem. He likes to put of videos of "cool" stuff, much of which is not that effective. He also had a move called the B.O.L.T. lock he named after himself which is just a reverse triangle that I learned in class months before he "invented" it.

Enough hating. I've watched a bunch of his videos and think they're great for the casual grappler to pick up some tips and tricks. I just won't be booking him for one of his seminars anytime soon.
