About Coach

‍

Coach Larry has dedicated more than 42 years to martial arts, building a lifetime of experience as both a student and instructor.

‍

His training includes a 2-stripe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt under Rigan Machado, a 5th Dan in Tae Kwon Do, a 2nd Dan in Krav Maga, and the rank of Kru in Muay Thai.

‍

Coach Larry has owned and operated G1 Martial Arts for 16 years, and today runs the academy alongside his wife, Jada. Together, they have built G1 around quality instruction, discipline, practical skill, and personal growth.

‍

Coach Larry believes a martial artist should never stop being a student. He regularly travels to Thailand to train Muay Thai in its authentic environment and has trained with instructors and academies throughout the United States to continue expanding his knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and combat sports.

‍

Even after more than four decades on the mats, his philosophy remains simple: keep learning, keep training, and keep improving.
