Last year, I took my first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class.  It became crystal clear for me, even on my first day, that Alex Henley was born to teach BJJ.  In addition to being exceedingly skilled at BJJ, he is gifted at explaining and teaching BJJ skills, and one of the most encouraging coaches I have ever met.  Therefore, when I made the decision to start competing in tournaments, it was Alex that I first asked to individually train me to accelerate my BJJ skills.  After my first couple of individual classes with Alex, my BJJ skills improved so much that several higher belts commented on how much better I had gotten.  I have no doubt that as long as Alex is teaching BJJ, I will turn to him to assist me in my BJJ journey.
