Six black belts. A head wrestling coach. A pro-MMA Muay Thai specialist. Real competition pedigree — and real teachers who can actually transfer it.
Pete began training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2006 after attending Ursinus College, where he was a member of the wrestling team. He received his black belt in 2014 from Rob Scheier, founder of the Precision Team. Pete has competed extensively throughout the country and brings the spirit of competition into the atmosphere of the gym.
