Welcome
Welcome. This is the personal blog of Cane Prevost. The blog will be my place on the web to write down my thoughts on teaching and learning the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Who am I?
I’m a high school teacher, father, and BJJ coach. I live in Portland Oregon and train at Straight Blast Gym.
What’s this blog for?
This blog will be my place on the web to talk about my experiences in coaching BJJ. I’ll post my new experiences and lessons learned as I continue to evolve as both coach and student. Essentially this will be my training and coaching diary. I plan to blog my way through our entire 20 week BJJ curriculum.
Where am I?
I live in Portland Oregon and coach at Straight Blast Gym. I also teach at The Center for Advanced Learning.

I hope you’ll transfer your old content over? Some really great stuff I will be sad to lose…
Thanks Georgette. I’m going to archive the old site and move the best stuff over to the new one. Probably will take a while. Don’t have as much time as I’d like.
Glad to find you at your new home on the interwebs. I look forward to more great stuff. Cheers.
from sweden.
im not training in a sbgi affiliate school,but i have found your instructionals very helpful and more importantly easy to understand.
great work,and looking forward to more solid fundamentals.
I just wanted to leave a comment and say that your blog is great.
Thanks for keeping the blog alive, Cane. Really good content in your previous site.

Well, send me a link…
Love the new site already! Looking forward to seeing more. I’m considering the same transition. I’ve had the .com for almost a year, but haven’t had the courage to make the jump. Any advice?
Hi Cane, firstly I have followed your blog for quite some time, even at the old site!
Just thought I’d say keep up the great work and I look forward to your next post!
Kind Regards
Felipe
P.S. I often recommend my students check out your site too, particularly my trainee coaches!
Cane are you going to cover passing guard?
Open guard
Trying to get to it Mike. Finding I don’t have as much time as I used to for blog updates.
Thanks for checking in.
Cane, awesome stuff – just finished the Mediocre BJJ Student blog and sifted through the Philosophical rants. Would it be alright to interview you about your blog on my blog? Hopefully it would get more readers. I’ve done some recent blogs about “BJJ nerd” sites (with Georgette, the guys from Jiu Jitsu Labs, etc…)
Be well and keep writing up a storm here.
Best,
-Daniel
