I've been doing martial arts since I was five years old, I did all types of striking, Kenpo karate for a long time, some Thai boxing, I dabbled in everything, I was training at a Jeet Kune Do school when I was 17 and the guy was certified, I think under Relson Gracie, to teach the basics of Jiu-Jitsu. Of course I had seen the UFCs and always looked up to Royce Gracie, but I never experienced jiu-jitsu. And once a week, this guy would teach basic jiu-jitsu techniques, and once I started doing it, that’s all I wanted to do after that.

Joe is one of the most phenomenal technicians out there. He is no stranger to competition as he has attained many prestigious titles. Joe also has a great ability to break down and teach techniques to anyone.
Some of Joe's accomplishments include:
Fight Record: 4-0-0
Championships Superfight Champion, NO GI Advanced Middle Weight Champion (155 to 174.9 lbs.) at the TAI-KAI CHALLENGE, and many other titles, Renzo Gracie Brown Belt under Matt and Nick Serra and Rodrigo Gracie.
