Head COACH - BJJ BLACK BELT

Patrick Hinckley

I first started my grappling journey with high school wrestling. I continued that journey again while serving in Japan, in the U.S. Marine Corps. I started BJJ in 2015 and haven't stopped since. I have competed and acquired many local tournament medals. I won the Asian IBJJF championship as a BJJ blue belt. My current goals are becoming a well rounded martial artist by competing in MMA amateur fights.


Coach Matt Hamill

ASSISTANT COACH, BJJ BLUE BELT

Brandy Lockard

My interest in combat sports led me to pursue Brazilian jiu-jitsu, where I have (thus far) earned a blue belt, immersing myself in the art of grappling and self-defense. This discipline has not only enhanced my physical abilities but also taught me mental fortitude and adaptability. As a combat sport enthusiast, I continually seek to expand my knowledge and skills, attending workshops and seminars to stay updated on the latest techniques and training methodologies. 


My diverse experiences in various sports have shaped my approach to coaching and fitness, allowing me to inspire others to reach their personal bests. I am committed to fostering a supportive and challenging environment for anyone looking to improve their athletic performance or overall well-being.
