He brings no-nonsense training methods to his students and helps them gain a better understanding of how to adjust techniques to fit their physical ability and interest.

This is a great chance to see just how well you're really doing.

Special Thanks This month, we would like to publicly thank Jason Lippert for his six years of service as a staff instructor at Sage. In that time he brought a level of focus and discipline to our grappling program that has helped us all excel. Jason determined a year ago that he would move on to pursue his own training in both Judo and Brazilian Jiujitsu. Though he will be in class from time to time to roll with us, he has handed the teaching off to Paul Boyajian and Anthony Sell. We look forward to sharing our insights in the grappling arts, maintaining the same standards of presentation and development. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
