https://greyhive.com/videos/watch/93ff65f6-c0f8-4b2d-b02e-63289fd84cb2 A new chapter has begun! I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 1996 under @johnlewisspace. After a long hiatus, I went back after my friend in N VA said @teampassosbjj was the best place to train in the area. My shooting career took off and time to roll became hard to come by but the passion was always still there. Along the way I met and trained with many inspirational people that kept the fire alive. I’ll try and name everyone here my apologies if I forget a few. @heather_nickless1 You saved my life. I love you!!!!!! @munkeychicken Was probably the most significant non black belt mentor from white to purple for me. @johnlewisspace I could not think of a better teacher to start my journey. @tony_passos_ Your philosophy and style of teaching still echoes in my style of bjj and teaching firearms today. @joshpikebjj Your work ethic was always inspiring @dk_415 Always appreciate your support bro. Your journey from BJJ Black Belt to eventually USPSA GM has been amazing to watch. @thejeremyarel Welcomed me to the family when I was traveling consistently. Meant the world to me. @crazychimp4 Loved every minute of training with. Thanks for letting me know that wrists locks and guillotines were just fine. @operatorintraining The family you have built at @aombjj is phenomenal. Thank you for letting me a part of it. And to my training partners in Charlotte in both the way of the gun and breaking bones @beak3r @gil_fortitude_consulting @optimist_prlme @kennyflorian @colemillermartialarts. Love you monsters. To my remote BJJ mentors @rbjj04 @immediateactioncombatives @codyshudson appreciate the time and advice. You truly are masters of your craft! @vicentebjj Professor…your patience, insight, and skill amaze me every time I train with you. It doesn’t matter if we are rolling, shooting, or talking about life. I am humbled to call you my friend. You honor me by allowing me to fly your flag! Now begins the journey to not be the worst black belt on the face of the earth.
