Happy Easter! (For those of you who celebrate it) It was spring break this week for the kids here in Northern Virginia so classes were pretty light. But Jeff Curran came to visit this week in preparation for his match with Ciao Terra. I was really bummed to not be able to train with Jeff while he was in town because I had dislocated my finger about a week ago. But I did get to pick his brain a little about fighting, Jiu Jitsu, and life. It’s always great to have a really seasoned guy like Jeff at the gym so I can get his perspective. If you guys ever get the chance to train or learn from Jeff Curran I highly recommend it.
