WHY DID YOU START JIUJITSU?
Professor Sam sheriff (REORG JUJITSU FOUNDATION) suggested it to me after a chance meeting on the street and we spoke about my deteriorating mental health since leaving the marines via medical discharge for mental health issues. He recommend Premier BJJ and professor Mcdowell from the very start, I started my first class that week and it’s been ‘doubles’ ever since.
GI OR NO GI?
No gi!
FAVOURITE SUBMISSION AND WHY?
Triangle. It just always seems to work out for me! Especially when someone stacks to defend! I love to bump my hips, roll them over and get a high mount triangle
FAVOURITE GUARD?
Closed!
PROUDEST JIU JITSU MOMENT?
Coming up to 1 year in martial arts and competing (by this weekend) 4x in nogi and MMA. I set myself a goal of 1 competition to show my myself that complex ptsd and depression etc is nothing to sit around for, you have to really actively hunt your best self down in those situations where you’re low and just be relentless in that pursuit.
WHAT HAS PREMIER BJJ TAUGHT YOU OUTSIDE THE DOJO?
That if you don’t put the hard work in no one else will. You can’t sit and lament not making weight or losing a round because you were lazy, be honest with yourself! It’s made me really good at smashing my deadlines in my small business, there are no excuses anymore.. it’s fail or succeed!
TELL US SOMETHING PEOPLE AT PREMIER MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU?
My first tattoo was a black emo heart with bright pink ultra violet reactive paint 😂
