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.
NAGA · Arizona State tournaments · Multiple IBJJF International Opens · IBJJF World Championships
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.
