Hi Luke, this is Caitlin Comstock. I miss Jiu Jitsu so much, it was always and continues to be something that shaped my life and soul. Today Christine Lacagnina and I drove by your new studio to check it out and we are really happy for you. I hope to stop by sometime, or maybe take lessons over the summer. Best of luck in everything
Caitlin
