"A Student First, A Coach Always"

I've spent over 20 years on the mats, and if there is one thing I've learned, it's that the moment you stop being a student is the moment you stop growing.

I'm a 3rd Degree Black Belt under Charles Gracie, and for the last five years, I've been a student of Kurt Osiander. Even with two decades of experience, you'll still find me on the mats every day—learning, evolving, and improving right alongside you.

I started teaching both kids and adults when I was just 15 years old. Over those years, I've realized that Jiu-Jitsu isn't just about the moves—it's about the person performing them.

What I Do For You

When you join my mats, you aren't just getting an instructor—you're getting a coach. I don't stand on a pedestal as a "sensei" or "professor" watching from the sidelines. I am there to train side-by-side with you, guiding you through every transition and every sweep.

A Balanced Approach

I believe in a philosophy that bridges the gap between old-school grit and modern-school understanding. We honor the roots of the art while using the most effective, updated techniques.

The "Vibe" Matters

I'm known for a laid-back teaching style. I want your classes to be the highlight of your day. We are here to work hard, but we are also here to have fun.

Knowing When to Push

I pride myself on understanding the balance of the grind. I know when to keep things light and when it's time to challenge you to reach that next level of your potential.

Your Personal Guide

My goal is simple—to help you become a better athlete and a more confident version of yourself through the art of Jiu-Jitsu.
