For the past 15 years, I’ve lived as a jiu-jitsu pilgrim—training, teaching, and learning across five continents. My path started with a foundation in striking and self-defense, alongside judo, which ultimately led me fully into jiu-jitsu. I’ve had the privilege of learning from some of the best instructors and icons in the art. What I share with my students is built on those experiences—refined through years on the mats, not theory. My approach emphasizes flow, simplicity, and awareness. The goal isn’t just to do jiu-jitsu, but to actually experience it—understanding timing, leverage, movement, and connection at a deeper level. Jiu-jitsu has taken me around the world, from surf trips to training rooms, and continues to shape how I see both the art and life. Come to class. Let’s play.
