* In 2006 I began my BJJ training with Michael Gruner. He helped me understand the frame work and philosophy of the art and a good PFS Instructor should know the basics of Brazilian Juijitsu in order to understand the ground. Upon returning to the USA in 2006, I trained at a couple of different bay area schools. Fortunately, I finally found a fantastic instructor in Mr. Marco Nascimento, a 4th degree black belt in BJJ. His talent is in teaching the small details of each basic move. He has depth of knowledge, technical skills, and decades of teaching experience.
