Sean Evans
"The owner and lead instructor here is a such a comfortable person to be around. One of the coolest people I've ever met. He makes everyone feel like a human being. He has been around long enough and traveled around he knows jiu-jitsu culture and history. A fantastic person to learn from. You need to check this place out because he is legit. He also is a natural charismatic leader that people gravitate to him. He doesn't let BS happen that could injure people but he handles everything smoothly and calmly (suave baby!)"
