Rome Lytton IV
Rome started martial arts when he was six years old after a car accident left him bedridden and in need of a fun way to stretch out his growing bones and muscles. His first introduction to grappling came two years later when he found wrestling after (American) football season had ended. He stopped training martial arts at age 11 and wrestling at 15 to focus on football, determined to play at the collegiate level. After his senior year of high school, though, he decided against football as a long-term pursuit and shifted his focus back into martial arts, specifically BJJ. He's been from Louisiana MAA to Gracie Barra in Orlando to Roger Gracie’s Academy in London to Urban Kings to Valor BJJ. He's finally found a home at Danimal BJJ in Taiwan under Danimal Reid. If he had to pick one quote that defines his grappling, it would be from the movie Shooter: “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”
