I began my Jiu-Jitsu journey in 2014 at UFC Gym in Torrance, CA, under the instruction of Professor Alexandre Novaes, a 6th degree black belt. Professor Alex has been my only coach, and I?ve had the privilege of training under his guidance from white belt through black belt. When he opened Novaes Jiu-Jitsu Academy (now Transform Jiu-Jitsu Academy), I followed and continued my development there, both as a student and later as an instructor.

With his mentorship and years of experience on the mats, I've now opened my own academy Arkham Jiu-Jitsu in Torrance, CA, where I'm excited to share the art and help others grow through the journey of Jiu-Jitsu.
