Brandon

Coach Brandon has spent his entire life immersed in martial arts, with a training background that includes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, freestyle karate, boxing, Muay Thai, and Taekwondo. He began training Jiu-Jitsu in 2007 and earned his black belt under Michael Fowler, one of the fastest Americans to reach black belt and a respected ADCC veteran with elite international competition experience.

With over a decade of coaching experience, Brandon is known for his laid-back, approachable coaching style—built on honesty, patience, and a genuine passion for helping others improve. He believes in creating an environment that’s both competitive and welcoming: whether you’re a serious athlete or a curious first-timer, there’s a place for you at Black Diamond.

As a lifelong martial artist and dedicated coach since 2013, Brandon brings a unique blend of technical skill, experience, and encouragement to every class. His goal is simple: help students get better, stay safe, and have fun doing it.
