“When we got here, there was a kids class going. I want to point out that we noticed how kid friendly this gym is. These people here are very kind and warm hearted. The instruction was also very technical and Derek explained the steps well. I picked up a couple moves from deep half. The guys here were great; top notch, and very professional with a laid back vibe. I appreciate how Derek explained the layers to the moves and the attention to detail. He also went how to stop your opponent from countering your position. Thanks again Winter Haven Jiu Jitsu!! Added: I wanted to thank Winter Haven for allowing me to drop in. It’s hard to travel from Michigan for a big tournament and not train while on the road. You made it possible for me to keep my reaction time and reflexes on point while I was drilling my game right before Pans. I may not have gotten the gold without a quality school to get some mat time with before the big day. Thanks again!!!”
