“It is no accident that Mr. Vandry is called “The Creation”! He has been innovative since the first month we started training together! One of the most technical black belts I have ever made!”

“Coming to Austin is like visiting home.  Thank you to my dear friend and loyal disciple William Vandry and his students for the wonderful time and experience while teaching at Vandry’s BJJ Academy.  It is refreshing when you find great talent and camaraderie and true friendship all at the same time and at the same place.  For those who missed this opportunity, make sure you be ready for next time….  There is no other place I would rather be in this beautiful town than Vandry’s Academy.  It is more than a school, but a family place.  Thank you all and look forward to our next time.  On another note, what a great honor to be present to witness and award first degree black belt to Ted Osborn and Ed Aiken and Jay Hume.  You guys are the cream of the crop and forever part of our Jiu Jitsu Family.  Thank you for your dedication and unwavering loyalty.  Thank you also to Jen and CJ for their incredible support,  success is a team effort, and the seminar could not have been without you guys.”

“Alright, I am in Austin, Texas, for an awesome seminar weekend at Vandry’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, my favorite and only place to be in this wonderful city.  Thank you all for the support, and get ready for more secrets when tomorrow comes.  See you on the mat.”

 “William Vandry epitomizes the true meaning of Jiu Jitsu.  Through his humble, yet unequaled dedication, he has been able not only to reach an incredible level of mastery, but an even more remarkable ability to overcome obstacles.  As an educator, the quality of his students does the talk.  His example serves as inspiration to me.  After all these years in the martial arts, I can surely say my black belt William Vandry is one of the most amazing student and individual I have ever met!  I am honored to have him as a friend, and very proud of what he has become!”

“William Vandry is a black belt with superb skills and trick leg locks. William has competed in multiple Pan American tournaments, winning Gold and Silver medals. Even I have learned from the intricate game that he has developed”

“Hey, my brother! (William Vandry) As always your technical knowledge is immersed in great wisdom. It is refreshing to see that I built a disciple who grows not just in the nuances of the art, but who also cultivates the spirit in it. I am blessed to have such an awesome Black Belt student, and yet an instructor and educator with a wisdom that I both share with and learn from. Keep those blogs coming!”)
