Testimonials
Training with Steve is a revelatory experience.
First and foremost it gives me great confidence to know that the systems shared are applicable both in the academy, and as a proven form of self defense. I appreciate the focus on fundamental techniques, and the effective way that Steve teaches them.
As a martial artist, it is also important that I am able to move freely. Steve's emphasis on physical development, and sustainability has resulted in an increased understanding of my own body. I am happy knowing that Steve's methods will allow for BJJ to be a part of my life for a long time yet.
Most importantly, this is done in a playful, and fun environment that is conducive to learning.
This is why I love training with Steve.

Steve is an extremely talented teacher, sharp as a tack, enthusiastic as hell and an expert, big authority in BJJ! 4 hours of training flies fast!
I took Stand Up and Ground Self Defense from Jiu-jitsu for Life training Camp and was truly impressed by amount of useful, practical and very applicable information that I got during the seminars.
Definitely recommend for everyone who wants to get more knowledge about BJJ, either you are absolute white belt or black one, either you do it for for self defense to protect yourself on the street, or you do it just to become better version of yourself than you were yesterday.
Don't miss opportunity to train with him, later on you ll be proud of the fact you ve been on the seminars with first American black belt awarded by Gracie family!
P.S. Steve, all the best! You are my great inspiration!
