After serving in the military and not having the opportunity to join an academy at the time, I found myself back in civilian life, working a regular job. However, fate intervened when I reconnected with my old neighbor, who happened to be training in BJJ. He invited me to join a class, and without hesitation, I jumped at the opportunity. The people and professors at Satsang BJJ have treated me kindly and made me feel like a part of their family.
