I left an mma gym format and started training BJJ with Josh Heath 8 years ago. He is a great instructor that turned into a great friend. He has spent countless hours outside of regular classes helping coach me in my jiu-jitsu journey and we’ve had a lot of fun together along the way! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his new school to a beginner or advanced level practitioner.
