Just back from a Jiu Jitsu vacation in Austin, Texas. I am so blessed to have a Six Blades Jiu Jitsu Family around me. The access I have to world class instruction is very humbling. Thanks to my Sensei Steve and Chris Hargett for their caring and sharing of their Jiu Jitsu these last four plus years. They have nurtured this old guy through the process and I am better and stronger. In Austin it was my honor to train with Professor Victor Hugo. A mountain of a man but one of the nicest people I know. I had the great pleasure to train with Professor Felipe Costa at Six Blades headquarters. I am grateful everyday I have the ability to step on a mat and learn from these great men that I admire.
