Well last night was rather epic! Having had a bit of time to reflect on the experience I simply come back to an immense feeling of gratitude. Gratitude for all the people that give of themselves to our local jiu jitsu community in whatever way that may be. Whether it be hosting events, being crazy enough to start an academy or just showing up to open mats, cross training at other gyms and sharing your knowledge with others... hopefully filling your own cup in the process.
Special thanks to:
Shane Fishman for sharing his knowledge with us
Marc Charron for bringing the opportunity forward
To our local senior belts for always attending all the things and sharing their knowledge and experience:
Rob Kochut
