Reviews

“Dave is the best in the world at combining judo and jiu-jitsu. I wish I could get him to come teach at my school.”
-BJ Penn, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion, UFC World Champion

“Dave is like the Michael Jordon of BJJ, and he could very well be pound for pound the best BJJ player in the world. In my experience I often find that great athletes aren’t great teachers, but Dave has the ability to teach a monkey how to armbar. . .He has added the final touches to a world-class fight gym. He has helped train world-class fighters and taken them to new levels! He’s given AKA a whole new look on training BJJ. . . Dave as my instructor is the best thing that could ever happen to my UFC career. He has helped me grow as a fighter and has opened my eyes. . .My career will only grow even more as I continue working with him.”
-Josh Koscheck, UFC Fighter
