Danielle Kelly for Very Hard to Submit New York, Brooklyn, NY, USA 7/5/2020

This shoot is a major milestone for me. I’ve been angling to shoot for Very Hard to Submit for a long time; not only do I love their products, but their New York studio is around the corner from my crib making this an all-Bushwick collaboration. I’ve been a fan of Danielle Kelly since her crazy run at EBI in 2018, so it was a huge honour to mark my first “official” bjj shoot with images of such a creative, high-level grappler. Thanks to Very Hard for the opportunity and thanks to Danielle for being incredibly game and easy to work with. I’ll be posting part 2 of this shoot soon.
