Incredibly informative, and invigorating - I am a total beginner and not an athlete by any means, but Marcus was a very patient, encouraging, and engaging teacher, taking the time to separately introduce me to the basics of Jiu Jitsu and its self-defense applications in an active, hands-on manner. I left feeling encouraged and inspired to continue learning and training. Highly recommended all around for anyone seeking a positive, friendly environment in which to explore Jiu Jitsu!
