A U.S. Army veteran with over 16 years of grappling and combat sports experience — Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, Judo, and MMA. During his service, Ian assisted with the Modern Army Combatives Program, training soldiers in practical grappling.
Before coaching full-time, he spent 10 years as a Quality Engineer at BAE Systems. That analytical, systems-based mindset shapes AJC's coaching: developing adaptable martial artists through intentional practice and real understanding — not memorization.
