Inspiring and fruitful

Roy Dean outlines his path to mastery and it’s reflective in the process in the story , being a BJJ and judo practitioner myself I understand his way and would love to test under him , the crucible and the right of passage that he Roy Harris employ mimic so many aspects of life in general. Jiujitsu is life ! Great read !
