Student Testimonial

In1993 in Mogadishu, Somalia, I experienced my first real combat scenarios and also became the recipient of the Purple Heart for wounds received in action.  During numerous deployments to locales in the Middle East and elsewhere since then, I continued to add to the emotional scars of combat.  Throughout my military years, those emotions often manifested themselves as frustration and anger both at home and in the workplace.

My wife was attending yoga classes at Palm Yoga, and our children were attending jiu-jitsu classes at Tampa Jiu-Jitsu.  At the bequest of my wife, I agreed to join our children and try some jiu-itsu in an attempt to “relieve some stress” through jiu-jitsu.  I immediately enjoyed the classes and decided to continue training.

The atmosphere that Ryan Deichert has created at Tampa Jiu-Jitsu is one that promotes both education and personal growth through hard training, through which you are compelled to dig deep into your spiritual being and strive for true greatness.

At about the six-month mark into my jiu-jitsu training, I realized that I had become a different person.  I was much calmer, more accepting and more focused both at work and more importantly at home.  It has been just over a year since I started training with Ryan, and I can honestly say I have become a better husband, father, manager, and person. The stresses that stemmed from my military experiences will never be totally driven from memory; however, the manifestation of my frustration and anger has dramatically reduced.  I have received complements from my friends, family and co-workers who have noticed a measurable change in my demeanor.

The thoughtful lessons, hard training sessions, constant encouragement, and overall atmosphere at Tampa Jiu-Jitsu have affected positive changes in my life. Through Ryan’s tutelage, jiu-jitsu has provided a means to reduce the effects of stress and improve my life. I am truly thankful to be a part of Tampa Jiu-Jitsu.
