A Fighter’s Path—Forged in Grit

Chad’s Jiu-Jitsu journey began in 2018 at Sas Team Jiu-Jitsu in Columbia, SC—a respected BJJ academy where he first hit the mats. Later, he refined his skills at Alliance Jiu-Jitsu in San Diego, competing at the highest levels:

  • Gold – JJWL San Diego Open
  • Gold – JJWL Phoenix Open
  • Bronze – IBJJF American National Tournament

For Chad, Jiu-Jitsu isn’t just training—it’s about mastery, growth, and crew. Now, he’s bringing that experience to St. Mary’s County, teaching Gracie Jiu-Jitsu that hits hard.


Marine Muscle—Morning Might

After 16 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, Chad retired in 2022 and traded fatigues for a Gi, settling in Southern Maryland.

  • Discipline, resilience, and strength—his Marine mindset drives his 6 AM classes.
  • Adults (14+) near Lexington Park trust his grit.
  • The Solomons crew leans on his early-morning edge.

Chad’s your wake-up calltough, real, and ready to roll.


A Mentor Beyond the Mats

Chad is more than just a coach—he’s the full package:

  • Husband, dad of three, outdoorsman—fishing and hunting keep him grounded.
  • Blends discipline with humor—grit meets good vibes.
  • Adults respect a coach who’s lived it—focused on students 14 and up.

His hustle fuels every session—your St. Mary’s County spark for morning training.


Why Chad?

Chad blends 15 years of experience across:

  • Marine toughness
  • Sas Team Jiu-Jitsu roots
  • Alliance Jiu-Jitsu precision

He’s your 6 AM game-changer, helping adults (14+) build skill, strength, and confidence every step of the way. Practical, patient, and all-in.
