Shane maintains a role at the school teaching weekly classes and offering his expertise via private instruction
Michael Siani
Michael began training jiu jitsu over 16 years ago and quickly was drawn to the realistic training. Having a chance to compete against similarly skilled and sized opponents became an instant draw and after a few years he was a regular at many local and regional competitions. Injury eventually forced him out of competition and off the mats, but he maintained his link to the art working as a referee and traveling/training extensively with that group. Despite the past physical problems, the draw back to BJJ was too strong as he jumped at the chance to have a place at 21st Century. His role is as the acting manager and associate instructor.
