My instructor is a Royce Gracie black belt. One great aspect of being in his network of academies, is that they are still very self-defense based. That does not mean that we do not practice sport, or more technical jiu jitsu. We just do not forget the roots of what jiu jitsu is first: self-defense.

I'll still be working towards getting Eli to this platform. I think there could be some interest, and he's a great resource of jiu jitsu knowledge. I hope that one day we see him here posting content.
