Jiu-jitsu has shaped who I am both on and off the mat. I am an active competitor with experience across ADCC and IBJJF rule sets, constantly testing and refining my skills through real competition. I hold a Purple Belt under Quentin Rosenzweig and train out of Hitman Academy in Savannah, Georgia.
With over 200 grappling matches and a 14–4 professional record, my approach to jiu-jitsu is rooted in what works under pressure. I specialize in modern no-gi grappling, with a strong focus on leg lock systems, wrestling integration, and positional control.
Before jiu-jitsu, I was a high school wrestling state qualifier, which built the foundation for my top pressure, takedowns, and transition-based style. Today, my goal is to share practical, competition-tested jiu-jitsu in a way that is structured, effective, and adaptable to each student’s goals—whether they are stepping on the mat for the first time or preparing for competition.
Ankle Pick Instruction
The ankle pick is a fundamental takedown technique in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, commonly taught in academies. It involves grabbing your opponent's ankle while off-balancing them, allowing you to take control and bring them to the mat. Practicing the ankle pick helps improve your entries, balance, and overall grappling game.
Single Leg Defense
The Jonesy tilt is a strategic technique in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that emphasizes leverage and control, often utilized during grappling sessions at a BJJ academy. By effectively using your body's weight and positioning, you can create openings to secure submissions or maintain dominant positions. Practicing the Jonesy tilt not only enhances your skill set but also improves your overall understanding of positional awareness in rolling sessions.
Finishing the Triangle
In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, mastering the triangle choke can elevate your grappling skills significantly. Start from the guard position, ensuring your opponent's head is tucked and their arm is across your body. Secure your leg around their neck, lock your foot behind your knee, and squeeze your knees together to create pressure. Remember to adjust your angle and pull down on their head to finish effectively. With practice, you'll find this submission not only effective but also a game-changer in your training at the academy.
