Brad Andersen
Last of the Andersen martial arts family powerhouse, but certainly not least, is Brad.
Brad began his martial arts journey almost twenty years ago with MMA. He then
branched out into wrestling, Muay Thai, Judo, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
When he reached #1 in the state and #5 in the nation in MMA, he decided to pivot his
focus to BJJ, earning his black belt in 2022 under renowned trainers. He's excited to
teach others the value of BJJ for not only self-defense, disciple, and self-control, but for
self-confidence too.
Fun Fact: Brad attended culinary arts school and his food creations are just as mean as
his fighting skills.

I hope to teach others the value of BJJ for self defense, discipline and self control as well as having the confidence in themselves that their body is equipped as a weapon if necessary..
Being equipped with BJJ skills gives you the power to control a situation without causing serious harm to your opponent but also being able to keep your own safety intact.
