Joe
Personal Trainer
Specialties
- Group training
- Reaxing training
Joe studied under the legendary Master Pedro Sauer from White Belt to Black Belt. In the last ten years, he has trained and gained an immense amount of Jiu-Jitsu knowledge from fellow Black Belt David Porter. He was also involved in teaching kids and adult students alike, focusing on “advanced basics” where students find a deeper understanding of fundamental mechanics.
Joe has been actively teaching since he was a Purple Belt on his own but assisted in many classes before that point. As someone who grew up wrestling in Iowa from the age of 7 until he was 18, he brings a ton of grappling experience to bear in addition to his Jiu-Jitsu knowledge. Fusing wrestling with BJJ helps students become more well-rounded on other elements of a grapple and leads to a further appreciation of the standing components. His passion is to continue passing on jiu-jitsu and making better grapplers in every class.
