I hope to teach others the value of BJJ for self defense, discipline and self control as well as having the confidence in themselves that their body is equipped as a weapon if necessary..
Being equipped with BJJ skills gives you the power to control a situation without causing serious harm to your opponent but also being able to keep your own safety intact.
