I will be resigning at RGC and taking up the head bjj coach position at Iron Knights, effective today. It is saddening to leave but I am looking forward to the challenges ahead.
I have nothing but love and respect for RGC, the staff, and especially James Hoskins! My time with the gym (10 years or so) has been so enlightening as far as building my skills, becoming a more refined coach, and just understanding all the work that it takes for a gym owner to keep a gym going. I’m proud of being a part of something that has not only stood strong through adversity, but has thrived.
I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful and strong students/ gym members through out the years as a coach! I will miss everyone, especially those that I see so often during the morning classes!
I leave you in good hands of course! James, Jerry, Val, Mich, Dave, Jon, Duvien, Kyle, Jada, and the others have a good handle on things!
This is more of a “see ya later” than a “goodbye”.
I will still be available for anyone who cares to stay in touch. I will most likely be seen at some open mats here and there for the rest of my life going forward.
I truly love people, especially those that are so tenacious about being capable and strong that they disturb their comfy lives with combat sports!❤️
