Matt
Matt is one of our BJJ black belts and head coach of our children’s program, he first found Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2009 when looking for martial arts classes in London.
As soon as he participated in his first class he was hooked by both the technical nature of Jiu-Jitsu and by the intensity of the sparring which is a fundamental part of each Jiu-Jitsu class.
Having always competed in sports from a young age, Matt found a new passion in the competitive nature of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is still an active competitor.
