Lost 63 lbs! ..."I'm The Best Person I've Been In a Long Time"

"When I started training with Professor McPherson, I weighed over 245 lbs. and my life was not in a very good place.  In less than a year I DROPPED to 182 lbs., learned how to discipline myself, how to work hard, not to quit, and strive to always push myself to be better.  I am in the best shape physically and mentally I have EVER been in my entire life.  I'm the best person I have been in a very long time and I owe it all to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and especially Professor McPherson (and the rest of the JBMBJJ Family).  THANKS PROFESSOR!"

"Taught Me What Hard Work and Dedication Can Do"

"
It has been my privilege to train with and under Prof. McPherson, he has been a  great teacher and equally great role model, not just in Jiu-Jitsu but in life. I have also been fortunate to work side by side in assisting him in teaching law-enforcement classes and seminars. Prof. you and your school (JBMBJJ), have taught me, what hard work and dedication can do. I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity, to work and train with you. Much deserved success."

"I'm Confident I'm Learning an A-1 Ground Game"

"
I have been involved in Martial Arts for 26 years. I have known Professor McPherson and his family for 10 years as I am also an Instructor and taught Professor McPherson’s son, Jordan the karate style of Kun Gek Do. I’ve also had experience in Tang Soo Do and with recently starting lessons under Professor McPherson in JBM Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, my karate spirit was reborn. Professor McPherson’s classes are filled with motivation and he teaches his classes with the full compassion for the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I have a very good striking game, but now training under Professor McPherson I am very confident that I am learning an A-1 ground game. Professor McPherson has respect, integrity, humility and is a good family man, which makes me admire him and proud to call him my Professor as well as my friend. I would recommend JBM Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to anyone that wants the "real deal."

"Benefit From Real Life Applications"

"
As a law enforcement officer I do not know of a better instructor than Prof. McPherson for my line of work.  His style of teaching makes even the hardest of training days enjoyable and worthwhile.  Whether it is a basic class or a more advanced class every level can learn something each and every class.  His experiences allow all of his students to benefit from real life applications of what is taught.  What ever your reason for training, work, fitness, self defense or self esteem you will not find a better environment to learn in than the one provided by Prof McPherson."

"47 Years Old ....In The Best Shape Since I Was In My Earlier Twenties"

"I am 47 years old and was skeptical about getting involved in jiu-jitsu due to my concern for injury and age.  I have found that age is not a factor.  I am not forced to go beyond my limitations but am challenged in each class.  I am in the best shape since I was in my early twenties.  I have had the opportunity to advance to higher physical conditioning, regardless of my age, and have lost weight without dieting.  As to my concern of injury, Professor McPherson runs a well disciplined school.  All members of the class take into consideration other individuals physical abilities.  No one is out to "hurt" another and that attitude is not tolerated or encouraged.  I personally have fun, enjoy jiu-jitsu a great deal and have met good people.  I encourage anyone, regardless of age, to participate and I do not feel they would have any regrets.  The time in class is enjoyable and goes by quickly.  I look forward to each and every class."

"Gained Leadership Skills and Humility"

"Since joining Professor Brian's school, I've gained leadership skills and humility.  I've learned about developing a team and working together towards common goals.  It is not just about training at the school, it's about fostering self-confidence, listening and learning together, which has helped me become a better assistant instructor."

"Professor McPherson’s classes provide a valuable tool to our law enforcement community."

For the past several years, I have been the Chief Instructor of Basic Police Officer
training at the Burlington County (NJ) Police Academy. Professor Brian McPherson teaches basic Ground Fighting techniques to my Recruits; he also presents more extensive Ground Fighting classes to seasoned officers in our In-Service Training program. Professor McPherson’s classes provide a valuable tool to our law enforcement community. His expertise and professionalism are obvious in the instruction he gives at both his school…the JBM Brazilian Jui Jitsu Academy…and at our police academy. His commitment and dedication to law enforcement training is obvious and readily assimilated by our Recruits. Professor McPherson has become my mentor and it is a privilege to train under his guidance.
