Constant improvement through deliberate practice and attention to detail.
Showing up, embracing challenges, and committing fully to the process.
An environment where students support each other's growth.
Remaining open to learning regardless of experience or rank.
Solving problems both on and off the mats.
We build problem solvers, not move-memorizers. Constraints shape decisions. Decisions build skill that holds under pressure.
Gi, No-Gi, wrestling, positional work, and live training. For beginners through competitors — self-defense, fitness, and serious practice under one roof.
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.
Before coaching full-time, he spent 10 years as a Quality Engineer at BAE Systems. That systems-based thinking shapes AJC: intentional practice, concept-first learning, adaptable martial artists.
