ROBERT SANTIAGO (1974-2012)

Our judo training partner, Robert Santiago, died on Monday, 6 August.  Jason, David, Greg, and I attended his funeral on Saturday, 11 August at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Orange Park.  The reality of Robert's death is tragically horrible for his wife, Sarah, and their young son, Benjamin (Benji).  I wish them peace.

Ἀμήν.
Ἅγιος ὁ Θεός, Ἅγιος Ἰσχυρός, Ἅγιος Ἀθάνατος, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.
Ἅγιος ὁ Θεός, Ἅγιος Ἰσχυρός, Ἅγιος Ἀθάνατος, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.
Ἅγιος ὁ Θεός, Ἅγιος Ἰσχυρός, Ἅγιος Ἀθάνατος, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.
Δόξα Πατρί καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι.
Καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεί καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰώνας τῶν αἰώνων, Ἀμήν.
Ἅγιος Ἀθάνατος, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.

WOLFPACK BJJ TUSCALOOSA SEMINAR

Charles Dos Anjos' Tuscaloosa/McCalla affiliate, under the direction of purple belt Clint McJenkin, hosted me for a seminar on Saturday, 4 August.  I got to share some of the techniques I've learned or discovered over the years with a group of excited and dedicated BJJers.  I look forward to training with them again.
