ABOUT RICK

HI, I'M RICK

I'm a BJJ Black Belt under legendary Professor Roy Dean.

I teach the powerful art of Jiu-Jitsu through online courses, one-on-one, and in group settings in San Diego. I also run camps and seminars in the United States and abroad, and I'm the creator ofĀ Old Grappler Summit, an all-inclusive retreat for the over 40 practitioner. You can also find me on YouTube at theĀ Ā Art of Skill Channel.

I believe that good Jiu Jitsu is highly efficient and technically impeccable. In my view, effectiveness in Jiu Jitsu is a byproduct of technical mastery and the mastery of one’s own body. This approach is the key to longevity in the art.

Contact me if you'd like to set up a training session or book a seminar.

Thanks for visiting!
