I’m a 50 year old optometrist & bjj black belt under professor Marcio Simas Gracie Barra of Orlando FL.  I have  18 years experience in BJJ. I have had the opportunity to train and learn from multiple ufc veterans and world class bjj practitioner.

 

My goal is to pass as much knowledge as I can to the new guys, show that everyone can learn bjj and to keep doing this until I'm 90 years old.

Chris Dachel -

My Jiu jitsu journey started in the winter of '07.  I love everything about Jiu jitsu. From the techniques and how they work, to how it changes the way you live life. You benefit in every aspect of life when you train Jiu jitsu. From how you deal with problem solving in other aspect of life(work, school) to something as simple as how you carry yourself as a person and how you treat others as well.

 

JAKE ANDERSON -

My name is Jake Anderson. I'm a lawyer by trade and I spend my days writing, reviewing, editing, and negotiating contracts. In need of a way to relieve stress and lose weight, I began training Brazilian jiu jitsu under Professor Tom Schmitz in July of 2009, and I fell in love with the sport.  I have trained under Professor Schmitz for 7 years and he promoted me to brown belt in August of 2015. I teach the white belt jiu jitsu class. In this class, I focus on teaching the basic techniques of Brazilian jiu jitsu and helping my students refine and perfect their skills. The white belt jiu jitsu class is perfect for a brand new student who is just beginning their Brazilian jiu jitsu journey or for an experienced white belt looking to refine their skills.
