All - I hope that everyone is healthy and doing well. I would like to say thanks to everyone for your continued support, during this challenging time. I have received messages from many of you wishing me well, checking on me, asking when we will reopen, and reinforcing their dedication during this time. I am very appreciative! That being said, I understand everyone is in a different situation and experiencing this through their own personal lens. If any of you come upon hard times and can’t pay for your dues, please let me know. I will put your account on…
This academy is my other home. As a matter of fact, I spend most of my time there aside from my house and I’ll continue to support. We’ll need each other more than ever when we all return. I really do miss everyone and looking forward to when we all get back to slap/bump/and murdering each other 😆👊

Charlotte International Open. As an instructor I have always sought to lead by example. That means practicing what I preach and teach. I compete not to prove but to improve. It makes me a better instructor. I jumped into this tournament last minute in a younger competitors division and in a heavier weight class than my own in the Black Belt Division. Here I learned to fight until the match is 100% over. I was winning until the last 30 seconds, when a glance at the clock, caused me to break concentration for a split second, and get swept. I…

“You can buy a man’s time, you can buy a man’s physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of skilled muscular motions per hour or day. But you cannot buy enthusiasm; you cannot buy initiative; you cannot buy loyalty; you cannot buy the devotion of hearts; minds and souls. You have to earn these things!” Clarence Francis

Great explanation as to why training in BJJ is so beneficial. Also explains how training forms such a strong kinship and team mentality. Great stuff! youtu.be/FUNSuowBEp8
