Though I wrestled in high school and dabbled in karate, neither of those prepared me for how much I'd enjoy practicing jiu-jitsu. Seth has a genuine passion for the art and a gift for teaching, which makes him extremely effective as an instructor. Besides being detail-oriented with instruction, Seth is also good at tailoring his teaching to your skill and experience level. This helps new students like me see how fascinating the big picture of jiu-jitsu is, while at the same time refining advanced techniques among the more experienced students. Jiu-jitsu is very addictive because it presents both interesting mental and strenuous physical challenges. That makes it a terrific workout as well as a fun art to practice. Seth has created a school that makes training a pleasure. No matter if you've never grappled before or if you've developed skills over some years in the art of jiu-jitsu, you can learn a lot from Seth -- and have a great time doing it.
