As a respected executive and consultant in the business world, Reza is not the typical poster child for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. However, with over a decade of hard work, dedication and persistence, he has gained the experience to obtain the rank of brown belt. With experience from a variety of different schools, philosophies, and competitions he has a unique approach to his BJJ game.

Reza feels that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is not just a sport or exercise but a way of life, a discipline and outlook on life that has helped him in many different challenges in his own personal life. He attributes much of his success in the business world to this mindset that he has fostered through being a bjj practitioner. He sees the bjj community as an extended family and welcomes everyone to become a part of it.

Reza feels that learning bjj is a gift that must be shared with others to ensure the continued progression of the art. He enjoys sharing all of his knowledge with other practitioners of Jiu Jitsu as he feels it also forces him to elevate his game in a continuous journey that we call the gentle martial art.

“In life as in Jiu Jitsu, we never lose, we either win or we learn”.
