The Matt Arroyo | Jiu Jitsu Tips seminar was one of the best we’ve ever had at Gracie Bradenton.
Everyone had a great time, but seeing the kids completely locked in—visibly and audibly blown away by what they were watching—was probably my favorite part of the night.
Matt has been a mentor and coach to me since I moved here in 2012. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to be part of some of his training camps as he prepared for some of the biggest stages in Jiu-Jitsu, and one of my proudest moments in the sport was getting to share the podium with him.
Having him come teach our students tonight, and watching them experience the same kind of excitement and inspiration I’ve gotten from training with him over the years, meant a lot to me.
Thank you, Matt, for an incredible seminar and for everything you’ve done for me over the years. 👊
