Bob loves the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu because it is a challenging and fun sport to which size and strength doesn't mean anything. It is technique, and patience that prevails in this style of fighting. Bob's main goal is to fight in the UFC at the age of 26, to demonstrate the effectiveness, and techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He believes that BJJ is the most proven method of self defense practiced today, and to win at UFC he plans to train in Atlanta, Georgia for 2 months at Jacare's school in the future. Personal Insight: "I don't mind getting tapped out with a great technique, because I learn quickly from the experience. I take great pride in everything I learn at OMS, and believe that it is the best BJJ school outside of Jacare's. I have learned so much at OMS from the great instruction of Keith Schuch, Mike Brentan, and John Friedland... They are the best around for great technique1" |
