Bruce McGraw

Bruce is dedicated to the sport of BJJ and spent almost a year training in Brazil. When you see this 6'4" and 240lb. individual you expect a brute of strength, but Bruce is far from it. He emphasizes technique and will make sure each student has the fundamentals down like the back of their hand. There aren't that many "big" guys with a "small" man's game... don't miss learning from him.
