Coach Khiem is a lifelong martial artist who's studied in a number of martial arts from the age of 12, including Taekwondo, Boxing, Karate and Vovinam (Vietnamese martial arts). He holds a first degree black belt in Vovinam and has taught kids classes in the art.

Coach Khiem started BJJ to add grappling to his martial arts skill set and has loved it ever since. Compared to other martial arts he's practiced, he loves how much there is to learn technically and how much creativity he has within the art of BJJ. It's a never ending journey and it helps him to continue to strive to be a better version of himself.
