I started jiu-jitsu almost 10 years ago and immediately fell in love. I have been helping assist in the kid's class since 2017, and it is one of my favorite parts of the day! I love the opportunity to teach others, help them grow, and see their joy when they succeed.

I started jiu-jitsu to learn self-defense and really grew a passion for it through how much fun it is to roll and learn. I’m a very big advocate for functional fitness, and I love to help people become better versions of themselves through movement. I feel jiu-jitsu is one of the best workouts you can do while learning a really great skill at the same time, and it’s so much fun once you get on the mats!

"I first started training in Jiu-jitsu because I wanted to learn how to fight; this was back when I was 15 years old. I stuck with it because it taught me much more about life than just how to fight.
I started teaching it because I wanted others to be able to experience the amazing things jiu-jitsu has to offer, just like I did. This gym, this team, has created some of the best martial artists in the area and has introduced me to some of the best people I've ever known. Whenever you're ready, come see for yourself. "
