"We were in the island last week and looking for a place to train. Zeth and his team were awesome. Thank you guys for the hospitality and thank you for being there on the island. Always happy to meet new people and get to train and meet new friends in the jiu jitsu community. See you next time. If you live on the island or just there to visit I would definitely recommend dropping in and training with this team. Thanks again guys"
