Instructors

“I have been training combat sports for a long time; wrestling, Pankration, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai, MMA.... but none have I been so passionate about as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Even though life has taken me away from the sport several times in years I’ve been training.... I always come back to it. I'm thankful to my long time coaches, the Toronto BJJ crew and Jiu Jitsu For Life Team. I have made some life long friends that I have trained with since the beginning and meet so many new faces. The sport has brought me to travel, train, and compete with some amazing people. Now I have the opportunity to teach the next generation, I’m grateful for this.”
