Royces instruction is unmeasurable in its value. I'm eagerly awaiting the next time Royce visits Ct. The tournament was also a highlight for me. I absolutely loved the way the tournament was run. No time limit, no points. I realize that sport competition can never truly prepare you for real life confrontations, but competing without time limit or points is something i think every Jiu-Jitsu practitioner should do. In the real world there are no points, and no time limits. Couldn't have had a better time. This seminar/tournament was the best I’ve been to yet. Royces instruction is unmeasurable in its value.

Jim is a phenomenal teacher and as stated above has a personal and philosophical insight into Jiu-Jitsu that you don't often encounter. I'll be bringing my brothers and as many students as I can to this, I can't wait! See everyone on the 23rd. This is Kirkor, coach for the Norwich location and I absolutely can’t wait for this.

Wow, why such a hater Jake? Of all the nonsense that colleges force you to ingest just to get a degree, it's nice to see a course that translates so well into the real world. Jiu-Jitsu is a metaphor for life. What better place to teach BJJ than to college students getting ready to face the world. Great job Jim and Paul. And Jake, as far as your "cheesehead" concern.....those guys learn mma from youtube links on Sherdog, not from a blackbelt under Royce Gracie. I responded on ESPN.com with the following….
