Four years ago today, a super cool thing happened.
Not only did a now internationally known grappler, writer, and ambassador for jiu-jitsu teach some teammates how to break legs. But he did it at a place that LITERALLY NO ONE HAD EVER HEARD OF, because it had just opened three months prior.
As awesome as it was to have chris wojcik teach at my newly opened jiu-jitsu school, I also received a huge gift in the presence of dear friends who wanted to support my passion project.
So many other friends, who are not pictured here because they showed on other days, also held me up and made me feel worthy of this endeavor. Especially my coaches, Scott Gave at Fit 2 Defend Academy Jeff Serafin Simon Park Blake Klassman and Dale Bowser . Because of them this project still pays a dividend to the jiu-jitsu community and improves the lives and health of all the folks who practice here every week.
If you came out in those early days, even if you’re not in this photo, THANK YOU!
And if you live in San Diego and want to be one of the cool kids, support Chris as he opens El Camino Jiu-Jitsu Club in the near future.
