VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

Andrew Nomura:
My name is Andrew Nomura. I’ve been training here at The Arena for almost a year now. It was a recommendation. I was training out in Atlanta. One of my professors recommended Baret Yoshida. I came in and immediately loved the culture here. They welcomed me with open arms. I’ve had a blast ever since.

 

Well, Baret is an interesting character. I loved his detail that he gives. He gives reasons why he uses those techniques and the reason why this detail is like the separation of getting a choke or not getting a choke.

 

I love training with everybody here. They’re extremely friendly. They are more than willing enough to help me out as a white belt and get me to an understanding where it’s like, “Oh, I get it now.” The highlight of my day basically is coming here on my day off on a noon class and training my hardest and getting better each and every day through trial and error.
