The instructors

So our Black Belt instructor was Sean. He would teach on thursdays and Ron, a purple belt, would teach on tuesdays. Immediately we noticed a difference in teaching styles. Ron was a much more laid back teacher who would show you how do do something multiple times and personally went around and made sure everyone had it. He would answer questions and If he didn't know he said that. He didn't make stuff up as he went. If someone wasn't able to get something he would find out why. Bottom line he was and is an excellent instructor. Ashley and I tried our hardest to make his classes.

Sean had a different style of teaching. I think he was more geared toward the more experienced. He would show many different moves then let us attempt to practice it. When we would have a question he would be a little short with us. Don't get me wrong Sean has excellent jiu-jitsu but I personally just didn't like his teaching style.

We also had Steve, a purple belt, help us. Now I'm not going to lie, Steve was there from the beginning. He showed up that first day just the same as we did. For the first couple weeks Ashley and myself though Steve was a bit of a dick only interested in advancing himself. Now, I can tell you that's completely not the case. Steve is an excellent instructor and is absolutely vital to all of our progression in Bjj.

For a little while there Donny, a puple belt who is built like a Mac truck, was coming to class. He was always fun to have around and has excellent jiu-jitsu. More on him later.
