The jiu jitsu community can be intimidating to enter, however, once you do so, you quickly learn it is quite the opposite. It is friendly, welcoming, encouraging, and fosters growth in too many areas of life to list. Professor Greg is the embodiment of that nurturing spirit. Not only is he generous with his time, patient, and extremely skilled when teaching technique, its his “care factor” for his students that sets him apart.
Professor Greg is the first to reach out to check in on a teammate, offer advice for both jiu jitsu as well as life, and encourage everyone. Simply, he is just one of the most positive people I have ever been around. More so than any work on the mats, I enjoy our conversations and consider myself lucky to call him a friend.
