DJ is a black belt with 10 years of experience who teaches both Gi and No Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. DJ’s favorite thing about Jiu Jitsu is the complexity; he’s a mechanical engineer, and his love of problem solving translates to grappling as well: “Every Jiu Jitsu match or roll is a new puzzle to solve with many different routes to the solution. Every partner can bring new variables to the equation and it is up to you to find the answer.” In addition to Jiu Jitsu, DJ practices yoga and likes to play soccer to cross-train. When he’s not at the gym on on the field, DJ travels the world, works on old cars and motorcycles and watches martial arts movies (especially Jackie Chan’s).
