Michael Geronimo
"I do TKD and Master Dennis talked me into trying the adult BJJ class. I loved it, I am on the north side of 40 and not doing chicken anymore. The blue belts and up all worked with me as there are things I cannot physically do. It was awesome everyone there is was a killer but they were all kind and respectful. I loved it…"
