1100 AZ-260 Suite 15, Cottonwood, AZ
I have been marketing in central Arizona for about a year now. I plan to eventually make it my permanent home sometime down the road. Jimmy who is an instructor at the Verde Valley Jiu Jitsu reached out to me and had asked me to collab with him. Knowing Jimmy is a videographer, I knew it was going to be a great start to an amazing friendship and collaboration. This was also a great opportunity for me to get to know some of the locals from the area. Jimmy and I have worked doing several shoots together and will continue to collab more in the near future.
Jimmy asked me to take photos of the kids and adults Jiu Jitsu classes. Although this is something I don’t normally photograph, I knew it would be something that I would absolutely love doing. I ended up signing up to take a kickboxing class. I had a such a great time that I will also be signing up to take Jiu Jitsu classes next time I am in Cottonwood. After watching the instructors while photographing a Jiu Jitsu class, I became intrigued and wanted to learn more about self-defense training. I am excited to return and learn new techniques while also having the opportunity to meet new people. Learn more about the instructors and how to sign up for a class below.
