Travis Davison is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the owner of Straight Blast Gyms in Kalispell, Whitefish, and Missoula Montana, as well as the Vice President of SBG International.   John Frankl is a 4th degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a professor in Seoul, and the man responsible for bringing BJJ to the Korean peninsula.  Both men are masters of their craft, and continue to both educate and expose people like myself to BJJ.  I have less than two months under my belt, pun not intended, and was able to attend a two day John Frankl seminar at SBG Kalispell.  I have many questions about BJJ, it's origin, future, and current state, as I am sure anyone who begins the journey does.  Enjoy.
