At every Belt promotion the owner of the school will say I could never get back from Jiu-Jitsu what jiu jitsu has given to me. After four plus years at this academy I Now understand what he's talking about. I'm doing things on the mats that I didn't believe were possible at 61 years of age. Thank you professor Paolo for your instruction and building on that instruction that helps me to improve my jiujitsu and myself. They really do go hand in hand. I honestly Believe that. Thanks to Paul for having a vision and relentlessly work towards achieving it. Fsalital
