Professor Stan was welcoming, academy was clean, the instruction and class structure was well organized. The 6am class was well attended with 9 students. Team no sleep wins! Instruction was armbar offense against their arm weave defense and in a short amount of time he covered 3 options from basic to an escalated skill level. The mat was opened after class bowed out. He knew each students name and paired drilling for skill levels. Short time but well done!
