Coaches
Nick
Nick started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Detroit, Michigan, in 2016. He has gained unique experience by learning, training, and competing in both Gi and No-Gi under different coaches and schools from Detroit to the UK. Jiu-Jitsu has given him a strong sense of community, something he especially appreciated when moving from the US to the UK.
​
As a personal trainer, Nick understands the physical demands of the sport and brings a unique skill set to coaching, with a focus on skill acquisition and development. He also has a background in multiple martial arts, including Karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and wrestling.

Michael has been on the mats for over 15 years, earning his first-degree black belt through years of dedication and training. His journey started at The Dungeon in Sunderland, where he climbed the ranks from white belt to black belt, learning from some of the best in the sport.
His experience extends beyond the UK, having trained in Rio, Los Angeles, and across the USA, gaining insights from diverse BJJ styles.

With over 14 years of dedicated training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Coach Simon Brown brings a wealth of experience and passion to our academy as a Brown Belt. Starting his journey in 2009, Simon has honed his skills on the mats and continues to push the boundaries of his technique and strategy.
