NO-GI GRAPPLING COACH & HOST

My name is Jordan, and I will be your coach AND host for all the evening no-gi grappling classes during your week in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. 

I've been training over 11 years and have trained with and competed against some of the best in the sport. I am a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, an amateur champion in MMA and teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a living both online and in person. 

I am undefeated in combat sports going 5-0 in MMA, all submissions, and 2-0 in Muay Thai, all TKO's. I'm excited to share my knowledge and experience with you to level up your grappling!

"Prior to the training camp, I had two years of striking experience but I still felt lost putting everything together during sparring. Learning from Jeff helped me solidify a ton of crucial techniques which led to a lot more confidence in my sparring sessions... I definitely left the camp feeling like I learned a lot more than I initially expected to. The camp was a unique experience and I'm already thinking about doing another one."

- Kevin, USA
