I have over 25 years of martial arts experience. I am an active competitor, instructor and student, specializing in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Thai Kickboxing. I’ve spent the majority of my lifetime training in, competing in, and teaching the martial arts, health and fitness, and I am excited to pass along my experience to you first hand.
My teaching experience includes instructing men, women, children, military and law enforcement personnel. I believe in giving 100% when teaching and strive to provide the best instruction that you will find in the area.
I’ve trained with many of the best in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts.
