Intro

Quote: "Jiu Jitsu is the only art that allows you to win a fight without hurting your opponent. I use striking techniques to open the way for submissions. My objective is not to knock anyone out. I don't want to hurt my opponents. I only want to make them tap so that they can go home and train again. " Demian Maia

i Just want to say that i have being training under Mike Moses,since 2006, and i have being doing Martial Arts since i was 8 years old and , training under Mike Moses has being a total new change of my entire journey in Martial Arts, his teaching is Mind blowing, is super strict , but at the same time Extremly Fun, and it is matter of a fact that place it has become like my FAMILY! the all EVOLVE family is just AMAZINGLY suportive, i can give testimony of that, because in 2013 i was hit by a car as a pedestrian and i was in coma for 2 weeks and i was walking in between life and death, and i have to say , that every single one of my friends at EVOLVE and actually ,some other ones that they were not close to me, they were there for me until i was able to fully recover. THANK YOU !! EVOLVE FAMILY AND ESPECIAL THANKS TO MIKE MOSES!!!!

I tried looking you up as a Gracie CTC. You were not listed as a certified training center. Your intro lists you as a CTC. I tried looking you up under Pedro Sauer, It did not appear that you are ranked under Pedro Sauer. What is your true lineage? If I am wrong, you should request that these affiliations correct their information. I will contact them to try to determine if they have any affiliation with you. Please accept my apologies if I am mistaken!

I tried to find Mike Moses as a Pedro Sauer affiliate and with Evolve academy or with Gracie Jiu Jitsu. I left a comment on January 17 but this was not responded too. How can I find the lineage for Mike Moses?
