Figured to post this here, since this is a more current thread [made the mistake of posting this in an older welcome area thread].
From one of if not the best brazilian jiu jitsu/grappling coaches in the world. A black belt under Renzo Gracie, he had attained his masters in philosophy some years back, though he uses that and takes a different approach to training, with his gym having their own style/game for jiu jitsu. Incredible mind and a beautiful, humble human being; and he explains the art of jiu jitsu/sub grappling so well and how it carries over into the persons life. Highly articulate in how he explains the art and how it ties in with human beings in general.
Someone who I respect very much.
And here's one of his top students; only 21 I believe, though one of the best in the world currently; leg lock/back taking game. Gordon Ryan
