BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU / NO-GI

With its origins in Brazil as the name implies this martial art was made famous by Royler Gracie in the first UFC. Sharing a lineage with Japanese Jiu Jitsu and Judo, this grappling art evolved from its unique style of practice, live training or rolling moved this martial art from the theoretical work to the practical one. There is no more effective or humbling martial art.

This led to opportunities to work with and train along side numerous veterans and future stars of the UFC and Bellator and even the NFL.

"Training and working out have always been a part of my life, but until I started this type of training it was always a solo venture. Frankly I know from the outside looking in, it can seem really intimidating but I've never worked with a group of people before that so genuinely want to see the people around them improve and succeed."

Ever since, it has been his sole venture and since founding Arsenal Performance with a small stack off barbells and a dream he has never looked back.
