Blaso BJJ Legacy

“With a martial arts journey spanning over three decades, I’ve had the privilege of training and teaching some of the most elite groups. Starting with Judo at the age of 7 in 1987, I transitioned to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at 10 and trained for four years before resuming again at 18. I earned my black belt in 2010, and since then, I’ve had the honor of sharing my expertise with various law enforcement agencies, including the Dane County SWAT team and the UW Madison Police department.

As a member of the Helio and Rickson Gracie lineage, I’ve had the privilege of training under Luiz Claudio Augusto and Thiago Veiga, both direct students of Rickson Gracie in Los Angeles, CA. This legacy has instilled in me a deep understanding of the art’s core principles and techniques. As a seasoned instructor, I’ve formed over 10 black belts, 22 brown belts, and 40+ purple belts, among many others. My international experience includes teaching BJJ to the UAE Army in Al Ain and Dubai for over two years. With 15 years of experience as a black belt, I’ve developed a passion for personalized instruction, and in recent years, I’ve focused on private sessions, where I’ve witnessed the most significant growth and improvement in my students. This tailored approach allows me to address specific needs, goals, and learning styles, helping my students achieve their full potential in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.”
