Coach Chazz started jiujitsu in 2018 and immediately engrossed himself within the sport. Jiujitsu provided him with great inspiration and purpose. A former scholastic athlete, jiujitsu reignited his passion for competing. From the time he was only a white belt, he committed himself fully to the art. He trained twice a day, nearly everyday, for roughly six months until he received his blue belt. Upon receiving his blue belt, he began assisting kid’s classes at his local academy. Within a few years of training at a local gym, he realized that he wanted to pursue a full time career in jiujitsu. After a short layoff due to injury, he began to seek higher levels of training and education within the sport. After traveling the country searching for a new home, he eventually found his way to Essential. Coach Chazz has medaled and won numerous tournaments at the white, blue, and purple belt level. He strives to not only be one of the best competitors in the world, but also to be a well versed instructor. Coach Chazz is originally from White Plains, loves to share his passion for jiujitsu with others, and brings a great energy and positivity to the mats!
