I have trained with Professor Jay many times and he teaches you not just the moves, but also the theory and concepts of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. After training with him I have noticed how I analyze the sparring I do and how I am able to implement the game plan. If you live in the area I highly recommend training with Prof Jay.
