I guess it was the mid to late 2000’s when I was doing a lot of MMA and Wrestling training and coaching.
We invited a BJJ brown belt in to gym and what an eye opener it was.
All of us who thought we were pretty confident with our ground game, suddenly got educated very quickly.
Subsequently from 2008 I then started incorporating more Bjj into my training until 2015 when I just stuck with Bjj.
As for defining moments, I get them all the time when I’m training and this just reaffirms why I do this. Whether I’m rolling or teaching, or just watching and offering advice, I always go home with a smile on my face.
The gym is my happy place and everyday is a moment of constant learning and progression.
