    I started my Jiu Jitsu journey 8 years ago. I never would have imagined the impact that it has had on my life today. I can honestly say that Jiu Jitsu has changed my life. Awesome video. 🤙🏽

      @josemartin1727 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Jonny Bravo To be honest with you, if you don't roll you wouldn't know. But in regards to your question; would any other martial arts or fitness give the same impact? My answer is this. Other martial arts are just pieces of the cake. Jiu Jitsu is the whole entire cake. No aspect of Jiu Jitsu is invented, only discovered. Every possible submission, sweep or throw already exists... progression is a matter of revelation, we have to learn to see what is there. And one last thing. Jiu Jitsu is ultimately the science and art of control that leads to submission.

How do I respectfully get all the instructors on the scene page?
