Dedicated to the practice and instruction of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with over 17 years of experience teaching both adults and children in Gi and No-Gi disciplines, from fundamentals to advanced techniques. As a first-degree black belt, I’ve led international initiatives—most notably traveling to Bosnia to support the development of Jiu-Jitsu as a recognized national athletic program, teaching at five academies across the country. In Chicago, I regularly train and mentor local police officers, emphasizing safe and effective control tactics designed to minimize risk to both officers and the community.
