Was wrapped up in cloth and turned into a human pretzel by Will multiple times during BJJ Globetrotters St. Barth camp Feb '23. Defo legit experience + all well documented history.

I have trained with professor Dorman at Gustavo Machado’ in VB and he was one of my favorite coaches and training partners. His mentorship gave me some of my favorite closed guard back takes and various side chokes from closed guard. I look forward to training with him again in the future.
