At the helm of our academy is a first-degree black belt with 15 years of BJJ experience. A product of the original Dungeon in Sunderland, our head instructor’s journey from white to black belt has instilled him with a deep understanding of the learning process that beginners undergo. This uniquely personal experience allows for an empathetic and effective teaching approach, supporting students at every stage of their BJJ journey.
