It is no secret that the world of BJJ (and all martial arts) can sometimes be effected by "politics", which is I believe, often just a word for rudeness. I have certainly been the subject of this before and I am pleased though to say that the core group that make up Maromba South are friendly and welcoming, everything that a club should be.
My coach, Adam has decided to affiliate and train with Thiago Stefanutti of Maromba Academy Australia, I am very pleased about this as Thiago is a great coach who has shown generosity and genuine care for his students and also has a great sense of humour. I am pleased to call Thiago a coach and a friend.
So basically I am really happy to train in a family friendly environment where the focus is on your own development and where there is room for eveyone's goals to be met, not just an elite few. Between my training partners, my coach Adam and our head coach Thiago, I feel like I am in really good hands....
