Stop in for brilliant instruction from a very dedicated professor. Joe has been in the Jiu Jitsu game since it appeared in the States, and studied under some of the most notable instructors including Jon Danaher and Renzo Gracie. As the sport has evolved, so has he, always teaching the most modern technique, and the most technical way to do it.
