Everyone starts training Jiu Jitsu for their own reasons. The first day can be a little intimidating. For me, I started looking for a way to keep me active and focused. At the time I started my journey, my wife and I had two kids and it was time for me to be a role model they deserve. I was in the 82nd Airborne division and deployed to Baghdad, Iraq in 2007-2008. I've always been tough and very competitive, but losing my little brother while I was deployed was like losing a part of myself. I lost my drive and that youthful fearlessness. I let myself go and a couple years later I knew my wife and kids deserve better. I started with the at home insanity workout and lost 26 lbs. When that was over I did P90x. When that was over I started Krav Maga. After a few months of that a friend got me to try Jiu Jitsu at Inferno Mixed Martial Arts. I have been obsessed ever since. I trained consistently and started competing as much as possible. Pushing myself to the limits and always trying to better myself. Jiu Jitsu really did change my life. My family and I moved back to Eufaula, Ok. I continued training with MegaChurch Jiu Jitsu under second degree black belt John Church in Muskogee. After everything Jiu Jitsu and my senseis have done for me, I want to pass it on and help give everyone the opportunity to change their lives. Now the Revival Jiu Jitsu family in Eufaula is already growing. Whether you are looking to learn self defense, lose weight, win competitions, or just learn something new. Jiu Jitsu will become more than all of that and can change your life.
