Here are some words from Rich:
100% of all video sales will go to the fight against cancer!
Thank you to BJJ Fanatics for making this fundraising effort possible. 100% of the proceeds from the sales of this video will go to Tap Cancer Out, an organization that funds the fight against cancer. They support cancer research, training and survivorship. I have fought my own battle with this awful disease, so this is extremely personal and important to me. I know that the BJJ community is capable of coming together to change the world. This is a great example of that. Your purchase will really make a difference.
Not only will you be supporting an important cause, but I think you will really enjoy this video. Its objective is to teach you how to do more with less effort, and dominate your opponents. I have had the good fortune to train with some of the greatest minds in the sport…so this video is a group effort and the culmination of my quest for effortless jiu jitsu. Thank you. - Rich Byrne
