Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
I can help you build fundamentals, refine technique, and solve specific positions through focused Gi or No-Gi coaching. We can work on movement, escapes, submissions, guard, passing, pressure, and a reliable game that fits you.
Personalized one-on-one coaching
Train one-on-one with me.
I’ll meet you where you are and build each lesson around your experience, your goals, and what you want to improve. Complete beginners through experienced students are welcome.
Choose your focus
One private-coaching experience. Multiple ways to train.
You do not need to fit into a preset program. I can keep the lesson centered on one discipline or connect multiple areas as your skills and goals evolve.
Training options
Choose the work that moves you forward.
Kids & Teens
I work with children and teens who need more individual attention, feel intimidated in a group environment, or want additional coaching outside their regular classes. I keep each lesson appropriate to the student’s age, experience, goals, and pace.
Practical Self-Defense
I’ll help you develop awareness, distance management, posture, escapes, control, ground-survival skills, and practical decision-making. We’ll introduce skills carefully, then test them with appropriate controlled resistance so they become calmer and more repeatable.
Kickboxing / Muay Thai
I can help you build striking fundamentals, footwork, timing, combinations, defense, and distance management. We can stay focused on striking or use it to support a broader martial arts foundation.
MMA Fundamentals
I’ll help you connect striking, clinch work, takedowns, and ground control so you understand how the ranges work together. I’ll keep each lesson appropriate to your experience and goals.
Competition Preparation
We’ll prepare for Gi or No-Gi competition with ruleset-specific strategy, scoring awareness, game planning, situational rounds, and focused feedback. Share your event date and division so we can make every session useful.
What a private lesson looks like
A clear, focused hour on the mat.
Private lessons are 60 minutes. We’ll identify what you need, practice with intention, and make useful adjustments together.
Identify the goal
Tell me what you want to improve, the problems you are running into, and the outcome you want from the lesson.
Train with purpose
We’ll use focused instruction, drilling, and useful repetitions to build the skill clearly.
Apply and adjust
We’ll test the skill in a controlled live setting, and I’ll help you make immediate corrections.
Where you can train

Mobile training is available throughout the Inland Empire. Portable mats are available when needed.
