Max

I’m Max, one of the coaches at Creonte Grappling Squad and a Blue Belt under 10th Planet Black Belt Aidan Mundy.

I started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2021 at 30, choosing challenge over comfort and committing to something that would push me physically and mentally.

I entered my first competition in 2022 and was instantly hooked. Since then, competing has become a core part of my journey and something I pursue regularly.

That competition mindset shapes how I train and how I coach. I focus on practical, effective techniques that hold up under pressure, and preparing people for the reality and intensity of live matches.

For me, it is about testing yourself, improving constantly, and stepping outside your comfort zone. I also want to set that example for my children, showing the value of discipline, resilience, and long-term commitment.

Now, I help others take that same step, whether they want to compete, build confidence, or push themselves further than they thought possible.
