Happy Monday team!
Should be an amazing day to get out of the house, get moving, and make some progress on the mats!
I can’t stress how excited I am to have Jon Thomas at our academy again. Jon is a leading athlete in Jiu Jitsu who has had a tremendous influence on the sport. Do not miss the opportunity to learn from one of the best out there! This will be an eye opening experience for beginners and grizzled veterans alike.
