Coach
I have been in martial arts since I was 7. I began in the style developed by Chuck Norris which was a system that blended stand up and ground martial arts. I earned my 6th degree black belt in the Chuck Norris system and my 4th degree black belt in Krav Maga. Over the years I gravitated more and more toward Brazilian Jui Jitsu eventually earning my black belt in 2023 under Professor Reggie Cochran. I found great enjoyment and empowerment in being able to out leverage and out-smart people bigger and stronger than me. I have had the privilege of training with many talented instructors, including Carlos Machado, Jean Jaques Machado, Richard Nortan and many more! I love sharing my knowledge with others who are passionate for the art. One can never learn all there is to know about BJJ and every discovery can be just as exciting as the last.
