Coach Taylor started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2019 though it piqued his interest in the mid 90s. Growing up, he trained in Tae Kwon Do and earned his Red/Black Belt. 

One of the biggest reasons he started training was that he wanted his kids to experience martial arts. He figured the best way to get them involved was to lead by example and get on the mats himself. It worked out better than he could have imagined. Today both his kids and  wife train, and BJJ has become something they all enjoy together.

Taylor keeps training because he feels there is always something new to learn and something to improve. BJJ challenges you physically and mentally, teaches patience, humility, and perseverance, and has introduced him to a great community of people. He also really enjoys coaching and giving back to others starting their own Jiu-Jitsu journey.

Coach Taylor assists with many of our kids' classes and is an integral part of our kids' competition team.
