PROFESSOR JR
I’ve been training BJJ since June 2018. I work in sales for the manufacturing market. I started to train Jiu Jitsu for exercise and weight loss. While training I wanted to challenge myself in competition, so I began competing. Jiu Jitsu has helped me achieve the brotherhood aspect I miss from the military and given me a way to fulfill my competitive drive. Training has been a great way to start my day. I enjoy the 6am class most.
