My name is Kenny Kim with Kenny Kim Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I am Jack Palotti’s professor. While I was out of town we had a visitor who visited our academy and Jack trained with the visitor. The visitor moved wild and had no regard for his training partner. A freak accident happened and Jack’s knee was completely torn. (And no it wasn’t a heel hook that he should have tapped to) Grade 3 tears on mcl, pcl, and acl and complete dislocation. Jack is going through PT now and will go into surgery in a few weeks. After the surgery it’s a long road to recovery from day to day tasks to eventually getting back on the mat. That being said, Jack is a 22 year old college student who pays for tuition on his own, works full time at a restaurant, and trains Jiu jitsu full time.. he will be out of work for at least 6months and on top of that he will need to pay some medical expenses.. This could have been any of us so I’m sure you all feel this close to your hearts.. Whatever you can donate I’m sure he’ll appreciate it. Let’s get our BJJ community together support our fellow Jiu jiteiro. Thanks!!
