I dont know if you went with the Lucas Lepri affiliate, but man I love Lucas. probably my favorite modern competitor. he's so good from everywhere.

Also, impulse who is our resident upper belt is from NC I think so he may have a good pulse (no pun) on the schools there.


Looks like you found something. For someone as athletic as you with combat sports experience, Im gonna guess the foundations class (while great for fundamental and techniques) will feel boring for you in terms of cardio and getting an actual workout in. I know thats how I felt doing fundamental only.There was a guy kinda like you that was fuckin all us true white belts up and teaching us shit lol. appreciated the safe space to not get thrown into live rolls. Inevitably though when you start rolling, you will get fucked up and tapped left and right.
