Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) means a lot to me. Just like many of you, BJJ has helped me grow in ways I could have never imagined. I've made friends from all walks of life, stepped outside of my comfort zone and learned what it meant to truly dedicate myself to something. 

​

I'm just like you. I started as a white belt, worked hard, stayed consistent and grew past all the previous plateaus. Now I'm a brown belt and instructor at Lanistae Academy in Los Altos, CA. 

​

I love this sport, it has allowed me to make friends around the world and compete internationally. I started BJJ in 2008 and have never looked back. Enjoy my quick highlight reel of tournaments I've fought in throughout the years.
