Brad’s journey from his early days in MMA to becoming a respected black belt and influential coach in the BJJ world is filled with dedication, resilience, and a passion for the sport.
Brad shares his transition from MMA, which he began in 2000, to focusing on the technical aspects of Jiu Jitsu in 2006, influenced by his career in law enforcement.
