BJJ Missions: Helping You Actually Feel Your Progress In Jiu-Jitsu
You're showing up to class, drilling & rolling...but you keep forgetting techniques you just covered in class and your progress feels invisible. BJJ Missions turns getting better at BJJ into a game. Every class becomes a mission so you can build real, visible progress.
- Turn every roll into a clear goal — walk in with a challenge, walk out with it completed and logged.
- Stop forgetting techniques you just learned — the game makes them stick.
- Watch your progress stack up — so you feel like your belt, instead of wondering if you deserve it.

Helping Grapplers Train Smarter — And Find The Best Gear
You know that one guy at your gym who's obsessed with how the best grapplers actually train?
Gordon Ryan’s specific training method. Danaher’s curriculum for each belt. Why some grapplers improve twice as fast as others with the same mat time. That’s the kind of thing I obsess over — and what I explore in my BJJ Techniques Library.
I'm Tsavo, a brown belt and assistant instructor at InFighting in Burnaby, BC, where I specialize in teaching beginners. I've spent years studying how elite grapplers structure their training and figuring out how hobbyists who train 2-4x a week can use the same methods.
That's why I built the BJJ Missions app — and why I wrote BJJ For Beginners, the book I wish I had as a white belt. If you want the full training system behind my free journal template, that's the BJJ Journal of Champions course.
And because I'm also the guy who owns too many gis, you'll find honest, mat-tested reviews of the best BJJ gis, rash guards, instructionals, and more on this site.
If you have any questions, reach out in the comments or shoot me an email. And if you're ever in the Vancouver/Burnaby, drop by my gym for a roll!
Your BJJ-obsessed friend,
-Tsavo
"Tsavo has been my assistant coach since 2022 and he has consistently displayed an innate ability to help people start their BJJ journey. Learning anything can seem overwhelming and intimidating and starting BJJ is no different; however, Tsavo skillfully explains complex techniques and principles to absolute beginners in a way that is both engaging and relatable. I highly recommend Tsavo Neal as a Jiu Jitsu coach; especially if you are completely new to martial arts!"-Ritchie Yip, BJJ Black Belt, Head Instructor at Infighting Martial Arts
