Competition & training experience
My Jiu-Jitsu experience extends well beyond recreational training. I have competed at NAGA, Arizona State tournaments, multiple IBJJF International Opens, and the IBJJF World Championships, earning numerous wins and podium finishes throughout my competitive career.

Numerous wins and podium finishesI have trained alongside world champions and other world-class athletes, gaining firsthand experience with the technical standards, preparation, discipline and intensity required to train and compete at a high level.
My development has also included continued study through seminars with internationally renowned champions and instructors, including Marcelo Garcia and Caio Terra.
The resultThat experience shapes the way I teach today: technically detailed, practical instruction built around efficient movement, strong fundamentals and techniques that hold up against real resistance.
