Nicholas is an absolute beast! I got in touch with him after his School Resource Officer gave me his cell and said he was very interest in training. I brought him to our station for his first #jiujitsu session. Technically, he’s a “white belt,” BUT he wrestled in high school and took 5th in states last year so needless to say I had my hands full! Super quick/explosive, clean technique, exceptional base and really strong, he took me down whenever he felt like it 😂. We went over the triangle and some jiu-jitsu specific positions, and he started shutting down my offense by the end of our session. He said he wants to do mma eventually and luckily we have a bunch of fantastic schools for him to choose from here. With his rock solid wrestling background I give Nick about 6 months of training some basic striking and submission defense before he start destroying people in the cage too. Huge mahalo to @shoyoroll for the gi and gear and to @evandroskilla & @gracieuniversityhq for the sparring gloves! I’m so hyped for him right now, Stay tuned! 👊🏽🥋🤙🏽#police #wrestling #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #trainweeklyorfightweakly
