INSTRUCTOR

Professor Will has been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 8 years.
He started in 2015 at a small gym outside of Memphis, TN. From the moment he started training he knew he was hooked. He trained religiously until he received his Blue Belt with just 11 months of training.
At Blue Belt, he began teaching at another local gym. He impressed the other students with his unique yet meticulous style of teaching that made class fun but also provided the students with detailed instruction.
After receiving his Purple Belt in November of 2017, he continued to teach at both gyms while also competing.
The Covid-19 Pandemic set his Brown Belt promotion back, but Professor Will would be promoted to Brown Belt in July of 2020.
In 2021, he founded a brand new gym, Stratos Jiu-Jitsu with his wife Lori.
In 2022, Professor Will met Professor Marcello while interviewing for a job in the area. Professor Marcello invited Professor Will and his wife into the Panda Family to continue teaching and coaching.
On June 3, 2023 Professor Marcello Alcantar promoted Professor Will to the rank of Black Belt.
