I’m a 3rd-degree Rigan Machado black belt under Professor Chris McCune and also a Judo brown belt. I love the art, culture and sense of community that BJJ brings. I’ve been coaching since my days at Straight Blast Gyms in Portland Oregon in 1993. My favorite part of teaching is seeing people learn and grow beyond any expectations that they had for themselves.

BJJ provides many avenues for people to challenge themselves and whatever their goal may be; fitness; sport; self defense or just being a part a of a supportive community.

I hope to see you on the mats!

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu revolves around the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them.

BJJ, is a self-defense martial art and combat sport based on grappling, ground fighting and submission holds. It is primarily a ground-based fighting style and focuses on taking one's opponent down to the ground, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks, chokes holds or compression locks.
