“After only being a 6 month white belt I placed 2nd in Copa America in both the Gi and No Gi divisions…”
Coming in to Third law BJJ I was not exactly sure what to expect . Like anything new one has a feeling of nervousness, wow was I wrong. The environment at Third Law is one of humbleness and respect. We all try our hardest to help one another. In other words we have no egos. From the get go you are given a basic Orientation Class in which you are exposed to the rules of BJJ and the raw fundamentals. So after only one class you already have some what of an understanding of what you are going to be getting here at Third Law.
At other schools I have been in the past they just throw you in there and it’s a rather sink or swim environment to say the least. After switching to Third Law I was amazed at what I Had been missing.
After only being a 6 month white belt I placed 2nd in Copa America in both the Gi and No Gi divisions and I feel rather confident in my abilities to beat higher belts from other schools who do not train as hard and as motivated as we do here at Third Law. Not bad for a six month hit belt ;)!
