This week, I’ve been preparing some of the training crew at Devotion Jiu Jitsu (our woodland temple of strength and combat) for going into competition. A few of them will be competing at the highest level in several weeks, attempting to capture the coveted gold of a World Championship. Some of the others have a […]
