For me(@thejoshmckinney) coming up in the St Louis Jiu-Jitsu scene there is one person that was never a part of my team, whom I believe had a huge influence on my jiu-jitsu. Whether by creating tournament series/super fight shows that I was able to compete on or training up opponents that I had the privilege of fighting. That person was Jw Wright(@jw.wright).  

I think if there's one hidden thing to pull out of this interview it is how important it is to give back to your local jiu-jitsu community. That was something that Jw has always done. Even though you could argue that my team was his direct competitor in business and in competition there was always an open door policy both ways when to came to cross training and helping each other out.
