The Coach

I’ve spent over 45 years in martial arts and over 30 running my own gym. BJJ is what I teach now because it’s the most honest system I’ve found — your technique either works under pressure or it doesn’t.

VCBJJ is built for working adults who want to train seriously without getting hurt or wasting time. Classes are small — 10 maximum. No contracts, no egos, no filler. The teaching is problem-first: you learn by doing, and every session follows a clear system so you always know where you are and what you’re building.

My students are professionals in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. They stay because the training works and the environment respects them.
