"I have trained with John Riley and James Tobin for a little less than
three years and I believe they have one of the most effective approaches
to the development of BJJ. They allow a practitioner to attain a level of
technicality to BJJ unlike any other instructor I trained under in other
schools. BJJ is a major part of my life and I will never stop doing it." |
