I happened to see your article by Brent Baldwin in the News & Features section (“Blood Money,” Sept. 12). I would like to invite you to visit our Web site at www.topgameacademy.com and learn more about the original martial art that revolutionized the martial arts world and is the foundation upon which the business of mixed martial arts is founded.

There’s much more to Brazilian jiu-jitsu than just the mixed martial arts aspect. It is, to many, a lifestyle that offers a lifetime of enjoyment and participation outside of the business of fighting. Once these fighters are retired, what will they do? Most of the new breed of fighters do not have a foundation in the fighting art of BJJ and will miss out on its other benefits. After all, who will be fighting for the rest of their lives in the ring?

This amazing art has revolutionized the martial arts world and is still taking the world by storm.
