Bio
Owner at 44 fitness and martial arts. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. Handstand aficionado.
We run a small but dedicated gym in Franklin WI, USA. We primarily focus on GI jiu-jitsu with lots of leg locks as well as much catch wrestling as we can fit in.
We're open to all training partners who have a relaxed vibe and have a desire to learn!
