Owner - Head Coach

Coach Nick and his family have been part of the Vacaville community since 2009. He is a U.S. Air Force veteran with a deep passion for health and physical fitness.

He began training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2018 and instantly fell in love with the sport. He has attended seminars and trained at multiple gyms throughout California. He has trained and coached under Professor Cleidson Ramos of Apex BJJ Academy Vacaville since 2020.

Coach Nick now hopes to bring his love of submission grappling, no-gi Jiu Jitsu, and wrestling to Vacaville. His goal is to promote fun and engagement amongst students looking to gain skills and confidence through grappling sports.

His specialized training style focuses on principle-based learning techniques and the Constraints-Led Approach -- a unique training methodology used to develop more adaptable athletes who can compete at a higher level with a reduced risk of injuries. These training methods allow the athlete’s skill acquisition to develop through ecological framework focused on variability, adaptability, and self-organization.
