Mike Frady
Mike initially started training Jiu Jitsu mainly to gain strength and stay in shape. He didn't know much about the sport but wanted to do something he knew would be effective at keeping him fit. He connected with an old friend from high school who had experience with Gracie Jiu Jitsu and he quickly fell in love with the sport.
From the very beginning, Mike saw how Gracie Jiu Jitsu was more than just a competitive sport. It was a way to strengthen his self-defense skills, discipline, and a great way to meet people with the same interests he has.
After seeing how his high school friend taught and helped students on their Jiu Jitsu journeys, Mike thought to himself, "I want to do what he does." And that's what led him to becoming a Gracie Jiu Jitsu instructor.
