About Will

Twenty years on the mat.
Still finding what’s there.

I started training jiu jitsu when I was twenty. I haven’t stopped. Wrestling first, then the gi, then no-gi, then the long study of how the parts connect. I teach in Fort Lauderdale, where I run a small gym that’s mostly kids during the week and adults on weekends. The Online Academy is where I bring the rest of the work — the lessons, the writing, the way I see it — to people anywhere who want to study seriously.

Most jiu jitsu online is built for the audience the platforms find easiest to sell to. That’s never been my audience. I built this academy for the practitioner who wants to know how the parts connect — who reads the position rather than memorizes the move, who would rather study one thing carefully than collect twenty in a week. If that’s you, you’ll know within ten minutes of the first lesson. Try it for seven days.

— Will

From the practice

Two voices.

“Will’s approach changed how I think about the mat, not just what I do on it. That distinction matters.”

Marco R. · Purple Belt · Online Academy

“It’s the only thing my son has stuck with for more than three months. Will treats him like a person, not a behavior problem.”

Jess A. · Parent of a 9-year-old student
