My laptop has HDMI and USB connections. Biography With no previous martial arts experience, Michael took his first jiu-jitsu class at the age of 52 and was instantly hooked. His coach’s mantra of “one more action” resonated so much that it trickled into his personal life, inspiring and enabling him to progress through the unfamiliar and intimidating journey of founding RANDORI and building a team to grow it. He knows from experience that the jiu-jitsu process will have a positive impact on anyone’s perseverance and resilience, among other invaluable life skills. Michael is a marketing creative director with 30 years experience, a songwriter, cyclist, and vinyl enthusiast.
