Gracie Combatives Training Vlog Day 31 - Class 11: Headlock Counters at the Grand Junction, CO CTC!

Today, I took a class at the Gracie University CTC in Grand Junction, Colorado! I am on Spring Break, and I took a little vacation, and you know I had to get some Jiu-Jitsu in. The Grand Junction CTC is wonderful! I talk about it, about Jason the owner and head instructor, a little about his story in the video.

PLUS, based on my conversation with Jason after class, I talk a little about the business side of a CTC, having a CTC location in a shopping mall, owning a CTC as a blue belt, the quality of Gracie University instruction, knowing your product and knowing your customer, the instructor certification process and more!
