Maynard James Keenan (Tool, Puscifer, a perfect circle, Merkin Vineyards, Queen B Vinyl Cafe) is releasing a documentary about his Brazilian Ju Jitusu school, The Verde Valley Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy! Filmed at the Verde Valley Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Cottonwood, Ariz., the 90-minute class offers a hands-on seminar tailored for beginners and the Jiu-Jitsu-curious. Led by Keenan and a group of skilled black belts, the team guides viewers through the essential development of stabilizing muscles and myelin connections, building a foundation for success in this confidence-building, puzzle-solving martial art. Watch a teaser trailer for the documentary now, hosted by MJK himself!

“You can do this,” Keenan says. “We’ve got your back. Not literally. But we can also teach you how to get us off your back. See what I did there?”

About Verde Valley Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
The Verde Valley Brazilian Jiu Jitsu studio, located at 1100 S. AZ-260 in Cottonwood, Arizona, was founded by Maynard James Keenan. The academy offers a wide range of classes for all ages and experience levels, with a mission to preserve and share the fundamentals of martial arts. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, much like life itself, is a journey – a path filled with obstacles that are worth overcoming. It’s a journey of self-discovery. Verde Valley BJJ was established to serve as a starting point for those journeys, for self-defense, competitive sport, and physical, mental, and spiritual development.
