So awesome, I train at Best Way directly under Dedeco, the school is literally right up the street from my house (and has been since it came here), but I never got the opportunity to train there until recently. I love it so far, and Dedeco is a great guy.

Great post, thanks man!

He's very talented, obv. But he is also a very nice and humble guy. I go to a Best Way school in CT and although Luigi isn't the instructor at my location, he'll pop in every once in a while to roll. When he does, he'll roll with anyone that wants to roll with him and he'll adjust his intensity to match the person he is rolling with. In other words, he doesn't crush the newbies and he makes purple belts look like newbies.

Everyone I've met/rolled with at Best Way has been great so far. I stay for the Open Mat right after Beginners class, since I just started, and the guys are all so helpful when I roll with them, teaching me stuff, going over things about how to get out of positions, etc. It's really an amazing atmosphere to learn jiu jitsu and the fact that Master Dedeco, the founder of Best Way, is at the original school literally right down the street from my house is an added bonus.
