Meet Professor Kelly

Experience...

Professor Kelly taught with her Sensei for 7 years. She is highly skilled when it comes to working with children as young as 3 years old.  She personally has competed in MMA and many internationally recognized jiu jitsu competitions, and she loves giving away her conceptual knowledge to her adult students. 

A True Passion...

Professor Kelly has a truly visible passion for jiu jitsu, some may even call it an obsession. She stands behind the principles that martial arts brings into people's lives, and loves watching her students learn and grow.  If you watch her teach her passion and her heart are worn on her Kimono sleeve. 

A Champion Herself...

Having found jiu jitsu through MMA, Professor Kelly was quick to want to compete and test her knowledge in tournaments. She has won gold medals in local tournaments since she was a white belt, and she has won Pan American champion 2 years in a row. Though her true passion is teaching she enjoys coaching her students at competitions and a few times a year going out there and giving her all too.
