"I started training with Professor Bill Scott at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Shore Academy in January 2007. Prior to that I had trained consistently from 2000-2005, until I was forced to undergo my 3rd and 4th knee surgeries.
After close to 2 years of rehab, and being doubtful I would ever train again, a good friend of mine highly recommended BJJ Shore Academy with Professor Bill. Since my initial class, the entire staff along with my training partners have treated me with the utmost respect.
The instruction and training have been absolutely outstanding. I feel extremely fortunate to have a legitimate, highly technical, black belt on the mats, from the warm ups, right through the entire class. The knowledge of the assistant instructors, Dan and Greg has also been very helpful since I've started.
ProfessorBill incorporates his vast knowledge of self defense, MMA, wrestling and BJJ to improve endurance, and cover all types of situations. In the short time I've trained at his school, I have lost 30 lbs, have got mentally stronger, and learned a great deal more of BJJ. Just one year ago, I was very doubtful I would ever again, be able to train seriously. I am now close to 50 and feel unquestionably, that my best Jiu Jitsu days are still to come.
For that, I would like to thank Professor Bill, his staff, and all my great training partners at the academy."
