Coaches

Shelby Scott

There is no top pressure like the inexorable crushing wizard that is Shelby. The good news is that you’ll be listening to musicals as she slowly whittles your options down to nothing. The bad news is there isn’t any, because by being crushed you will learn how to crush and by the power of goodness, all will be improved. Shelby is a brown belt.

Dave Bisers

Dave is like a bowling ball launched out of a cannon wrapped in a purple belt but with arms that pin you to the ground and choke you. Also, he’s an amazing teacher and leads the Wednesday standup class. You should come to his class and learn how to fall and how to throw. Despite his capacity to destroy, he is also incredibly patient and loves working with students of all abilities. Dave is a purple belt.

Wally Jones
Wally started training in BJJ in 2010. What started as a mission to cover the hole in his ground game grew into a full blown addiction to grappling. Wally has earned his purple belt in BJJ and is thrilled to have the chance to further work his ground skills and continue to integrate them into the bigger martial picture.

Tom Wells

If you have ever wondered if there was a human being in the world who embodied the notion of toughness on the mats, wonder no longer. Tom is that human, draped in a purple belt. Come to his classes and maybe you’ll get tougher too. Don’t worry, he’s one thousand percent gentle with new coaches.

Alex Trautman

Ever evolving and mutating into a deadlier and smoother harvester of limbs, Alex is a master of spotting what each student needs based on their knowledge, skills, and physical attributes. Will he stay after class for an hour doing more rolls and chatting about the philosophy of BJJ? Yes, almost certainly. Alex is a blue belt.
