Alex is someone that used to get into trouble and was going down the wrong path. Through the help of Mickey Gall and Jiu Jitsu, he managed to change his self destructive mindset into a champion's mentality. He trains hard and when I say hard I mean 30 hours a week with some really talented practitioners. Don't let his troublesome past fool you though, he is quite intelligent and his thoughts and philosophies on this sport/art can't be ignored.
This young man's potential is endless and his story is one that everyone can gain inspiration from. It's mind blowing to see the type of impact martial arts has had on his lifestyle. Scrolling through his instagram, you can clearly see a difference in attitude and outlook in his life once he starts training in jiu jitsu. Alex is a great addition to the Submission Shark Community and is a prime example of how anyone can change for the better.

She is an excellent example of a role model through her healthy habits and kind gestures. Make sure you read this whole article because her aspirations will shock and inspire you.
When I first met Cheryl on social media, I was pleasantly surprised at how much energy she had! Of course, our conversation started after she finished her jiu-jitsu class showing how much of a hard worker she is. Her enthusiasm for jiu-jitsu is very obvious after the second message I sent her she replied with "I WANT TO LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT JIU JITSU" followed by a few awesome emojis haha. Her kindness and loyalty are also very evident in how much appreciation she shows for her professor, Lucas Lepri.
Focused on her goals and a true athlete, she kindly expressed how she needed to rest because she was training again the next day at 7:00 AM. Talk about dedication right? Oh, and did I mention she was a mother of six children?
Cheryl's energy and positive outlook on life is honestly rare and having people like that really cheers up the rest of us. She comes from a great academy and is a great example of a positive role model not just for the kids she teaches, but for adults as well.
