“I have been training with JP for 18 months. Even though this is a new school JP has been teaching in the area for years and has a loyal following of dedicated students. He is one of the best Black belts in the area. You will quickly see the difference between Agoge and other so called "Real Jiu Jitsu" schools in the area. The thing about BJJ is you can't fake it. JP is the most genuinely nice person I have ever met. He cares about all his students and I am glad to call him my friend. He has not only taught me jiu jitsu but he has made me a better person. He is a great teacher and has cultivated a great culture of friendship at the gym.
