Today we’d like to introduce you to Adam.
Hi Adam, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I fell in love with Jiu Jitsu from day 1.
I walked into BTT Long beach and never looked back. Bjj has saved me in several physical altercation, and I have taught others how to do the same.
I won worlds masters at blue belt, and have been on the world podium a few times.
I moved to Oregon to open my gym/Academy. I lived in a back yard while I built my gym out myself to save money as I had a modest budget that would make any business adventure seem futile. I left my new wife and baby in So cal, so they would not have to sacrifice simple comfort while I built my dream. I accumulated over 100 students in my 1st 6 months and moved the fam out to our 1st apt. Success
……. 1 yr into business and already winning as a team in comp……. then… COVID, I was forced to get a loan, (which I still owe) to pay for rent in a space I couldn’t legally occupy according to OSHA’s demand letter that I shut down or be fined.
So I used the loan to get out of the lease for the building I couldn’t legally use.
My wife and I bought a house with a 1k sq ft building in the back so we could teach no and study on private property no matter what.
I am a 2nd degree black belt under Rigan Machado. I plan on teaching and rolling g all my life. Despite my missing ACL that needs a and replacement before I can compete again.
I now run a very modest team of savage bjj enthusiasts and competitors.
Never more passionate, even with my much more humble sized gym.
I had to get a full time job in the medical field to pay for my bjj teaching and competing habit.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Being broke after covid, even now, wondering how I can pay that loan back.
All this only strengthens my resolve.
