I’ve been in some pretty dark places in my life. If I can motive those around me and help prevent others from going to those places then I feel like it's my duty to do so. I’m at a place in my life now that I thought would never be possible. I want to show others that your dreams aren’t that far away if you’re willing to step out and go get them.
I wake up every day in love with the life I live. I went from a full-time job living a comfortable life, but I didn't smile like this. I currently make less than half of what I used to make. The craziest part is that you couldn't pay me to go back to that life. I went from being motivated by money to being motivated by happiness. I don't know what the future has in store for me, but I do know that I'm loving this ride.
The story of Stardust Jiu-Jitsu is one that's filled with hope, love, acceptance, friendship, empathy and inspiration. Lucas is one of the most selfless people I've come across and his story deserves much more attention. Out of the kindness of his heart, he was inspired to create a place where people can freely express themselves from judgement and be a part of a community that wants to help them grow as people. If a martial artist imagined heaven, I'm sure it would look very similar to Stardust Jiu-Jitsu. He is exactly what the Submission Shark Community represents and it's an honour to be able to share his story.

He's a very intelligent man with decades of experience as both an addiction psychiatrist and a martial artist.

I was in bed for almost a year and gained 90lbs. I fell into a really deep depression and was being prescribed pain medication like candy. I developed a strong dependency on pain medication and eventually lost my career because of it. Like many, I have felt sadness, anger, weakness. I know what it is like to have it all and lose it. I know what it's like to be in a place of desperation with no light in sight. I would like to show others that there is definitely a way out, it is possible to climb out from the depths of despair.
True happiness is not accepting defeat, hard work, dedication, pushing yourself each and every day to meet your goals and helping others accomplish theirs.
