Imaging learning jiu-jitsu with Tool singer Maynard James Keenan!? “The Great In Between: An Introduction To Jiu Jitsu”, a Maynard James Keenan-hosted intro to the dynamic sport of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, debuts next Friday, December 13 thru Puscifertv.com!
They filmed the 90-minute video at the Verde Valley Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy in Cottonwood, Arizona. It was a day filled with hand-on seminars tailored for beginners. Led by the Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer singer and some skilled black belts, the team guides you through the essential development of stabilizing muscles and myelin connections and building a foundation.
“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?”
You can pre-order the film, available as a 72-hour rental, you can add in merch bundles too.
“The Great In Between: An Introduction to Jiu Jitsu” was directed by Chris Staab and features music by Puscifer.
James Keenan has been training in jiu-jitsu since the ’90s and in January 2024, earned his black belt!
Maynard was on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, and talked about what it was that drew him to jiu-jitsu, “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life; it’s the hardest. It’s the most… I’m getting snow-flakey weepy. It’s not something that you are handed. You have to do the work to get it. And I had so many injuries over the years. So much distance from this thing and I’m such a stubborn prick that I have… I’ve started the thing and I’m gonna finish this thing. So that’s where I’m at with jiu-jitsu. And it’s not something that you can be handed.”
What a talented guy Maynard is, hey? Which of his bands is your favourite? Personally, Tool. I do like Puscifer and A Perfect Circle, but Danny Carey.
