Serena Driggers
"I have trained with Graham for many years in Jujitsu and he has always pushed me to be a better grappler. His background in wrestling and year of jujitsu has made him excellent and I’ve seen him first hand teaching, which he excels at. I came to the gym for the grand opening and it was professional, clean, spacious, and safe. I highly recommend Graham and his skill, leadership and teaching prowess to develop scrappy grapplers."
