“In my line of work, the dangers of being attacked are all too common. I’ve served in the military, was a police officer in NJ and now currently a State Trooper. Dan taught me how jiu-jitsu would help me at work and let me tell you it has saved me on the streets. I would tell Dan, “HEY THIS STUFF DOES WORK!”
-Trooper Rick M.
“I’ve been training under Dan for approx. 6+ years. His genuine passion for teaching and BJJ transcends into his instruction. His attention to detail has assisted me and the other students in the academy acquire a solid foundation of the martial arts. Dan has always emphasized the great importance of self-defense. This is the main reason I joined the academy. I’ve always respected his realistic approach towards BJJ. Dan is an excellent instructor, and a great friend on and off the mats.”
-Miguel V.
“I remember like if it was yesterday when I first started training Jiu-Jitsu. Dan always had me to work on my weakest points. He was always there to correct any technical problems. I know Grandmaster Relson Gracie is more than proud to have such a great guy like Dan under him. I always have a great time training and he helps to make everything more simple. Just how am I supposed to say thanks my brother? You have had a big impact in my life!”
