I had the pleasure of spending a week in Nanaimo as a part of Island Top Team’s visiting student program. Rob was hospitable and welcoming as was his team. Myself and another student were allowed to stay at Rob’s place and train at his school which was an awesome experience. The only thing more impressive than the hospitable and welcoming nature of their team was Rob’s proficiency as an instructor. I can tell you that he has an excellent system for improving an athlete’s technical and conceptual approach to grappling. He can quickly spot the holes in your game and give you advice on how to fix them. Rob exemplifies the term ‘student of the game’ traveling all over and taking privates with some of the top competitors in the world and then brings that knowledge back to his school. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in improving their conceptual understanding and technical knowledge of jiu jitsu.
