JJP Instructors
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
The Jiujitsu Project is led by Professor Michael Geery, 4th degree black belt. He has spent years cultivating and maintaining seasoned instructors and coaches with decades of experience in jiujitsu and related disciplines.
Our instructors span diverse backgrounds including high level competitors in BJJ, Judo, Wrestling, and MMA.
To be an instructor at the JJP, students must teach a regular class on the schedule, along with continuing education under Professor Geery and the TC.
All instructors are welcoming and invite students of any affiliation and background to join their classes to reap the benefits of training.
See you on the mat!
