John Will and Glenn. “I started studying with John in 2000 and have been blessed by a teacher who is constantly questioning, searching and exploring all things to do with our training. I couldn’t have hoped for a better mentor or friend.”

 

Trent Rice and Glenn. The student surpasses the teacher! “I introduced Trent to BJJ and he has gone on to have a wonderful career with many gold medals to his credit. He runs the Sho Shin Do school in Ballarat and is the infamous ‘Bear’ of Bear-Cave Jiu Jitsu.”
