Jeff and Rickson

Our Approach

About Jeff

Jeff has actively studied and competed in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo for the past 23 years. He earned his first belt from Rickson Gracie and was present for the now famous challenge match between Rickson and Yoji Anjo.

The rest of Jeff's belts were awarded by coral belt world champion Rigan Machado.

Rigan is recognized as one of the best grapplers to have ever walked the planet. He is currently a celebrity trainer working with Ashton Kuchar, Ziggy Marley, Charlie Hunam, Scarlett Johanson, Keanu Reeves, and many others.

As a brown belt, in 2003, Jeff was recognized by Carlos Gracie Jr. as a member of Team USA.

Rigan and Jeff are actively engaged in a business development strategy for a new adventure soon to be shared!
