TESTIMONIALS

Jason Galetti

"Exceeded expectations, came out with not only a few new moves but better strategy in terms of seeking attachments, islands of solitude, and flow rolling = better muscle memory. Also good to see hear others journey as older folks and after meeting the oldest gentlemen there I have zero excuses any more."

William Cheshire

"Rick put on an amazing seminar targeted at the challenges we older grapplers face. I learned an lot and met a bunch of really nice people. I would definitely attend another."

Chris Matlack

"The instruction was excellent. The social event was top notch. The opportunity to meet like minded practitioners and work together on the same level was invaluable."

 

Mitch Waldstein

"No one does it like Rick! He articulates concepts in a way that really opens your mind to deeper perspectives. It was a treat to spend time with him and learn a few of his “efficiency” tricks."

Frank Bredimus

"I throughly enjoyed attending this seminar. A great training facility and a great town. Rick is a great instructor and is very knowledgeable and patient at explaining Jiu Jitsu."

Les Lent

"This event showed me how to “level up” my game by slowing down stronger and faster players. World class event!"

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hi, I'm Rick Ellis.

I'm a blackbelt under legendary Professor Roy Dean. I run The Art of Skill channel on YouTube.

I'm living proof that you can start Jiu Jitsu relatively late in life and go on to become a blackbelt.

When I was new at BJJ my strategy was to match my training partner's speed, power, and strength. In fact, if they went hard, I tried to go even harder. But as you get older, that's a terrible strategy, one that will get you injured. Trust me, I know that first hand.

Instead, you need technical mastery and efficiency. You need perfect defense, great timing, and a versatile offensive game. I've spent years developing and teaching that style of Jiu Jitsu.

And I can help you too!
