about gracie barra Covina

Professor Michael is a seasoned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt with an unwavering passion for the art and a wealth of experience under his belt. His journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu began in 2013, where he embarked on his path in Dana Point, CA, and Irvine, CA under the prestigious Gracie Barra banner.

In 2017, Professor Michael took his dedication to Jiu-Jitsu to Arizona, where he played a pivotal role in the expansion of Gracie Barra Arizona. His dedication to spreading the art and his commitment to building a strong Jiu-Jitsu community have been evident throughout his journey.

His coaching journey started early on, even during his blue belt days. From the moment he felt the transformative power of Jiu-Jitsu, he knew he wanted to share it with others. With a heart dedicated to teaching and mentoring, Professor Michael's coaching journey has been nothing short of remarkable.

One of Professor Michael's proudest accomplishments is his involvement in coaching kids who have gone on to achieve multiple-time Pan American kids championships. His ability to connect with younger practitioners and instill in them not only technical skills but also values of discipline, respect, and perseverance has been instrumental in their success.

But his journey is not just about accolades and titles. Professor Michael's ultimate goal in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is to give back to others what the art has given to him. The transformation he experienced through Jiu-Jitsu has fueled his desire to make a positive impact on the lives of those he teaches. His teaching goes beyond techniques; it's about helping individuals discover their inner strength, resilience, and self-confidence through the art.
