California in Mission Hills (San Fernado Valley)
I started posting on Sherdog on a high school computer, before joining Jean Jacques Machado academy. I bought some mats, converted my garage into a gym, learned from books, then went on to find a BJJ academy (JJM).
Those home garage days were the best. If any of you old school guys are reading this. You'll remember that in like 2005 I had the Sherdog Grappling Extravaganza where a lot of you guys showed up. Some of you guys were not even from California and showed up!
Those were the days. Where nothing mattered other than getting better and learning stuff. Then life hit and had to make money and all that life stuff.
Ill keep it short. I am back at it after a 6-7 year vacation. I still cant train during academy training hours due to running my business and being on the phone all day.
FREE TRAINING. I don't run a class, I don't promote, I don't take money.
Just buy me some mat cleaner from time to time and were good.
NOTE: STILL working on building mat walls, but these pictures show you what im working with. I can expand the space if it gets crowded, but I'm sure were good with this space 16ft x 44ft.
Normal Space: 704 Square feet
With added section: 5ft*20ft = 100square feet.
Mon-Fri:
Night: 9pm to 12am
Morning: 5:30am to 8am
