OWNER/HEAD COACH

Coach Zac has trained in Muay Thai Kickboxing, Wing Chun Kung Fu, and has a Black Belt in Tang Soo Do Karate. He got into JiuJitsu after being introduced to the Modern Army Combatives system during his time serving in the US Army. After seeing how JiuJitsu can be used to safely bring someone under control in real world environments, he decided to focus his training exclusively on his JiuJitsu journey.
