MEET OUR COACHES
Coach Ethan is a lifelong martial artist, practicing Tae Kwon Do, Gōjū-ryū Karate, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in his youth. Ethan joined the Marine Corps at 18 and quickly advanced through the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) earning his Brown Belt. In January 2023, Ethan began seriously training BJJ at The Dojo NYC in Bushwick, Brooklyn under IBJJF black belt Gabriel Marte. Since then, he has competed in over a dozen tournaments and trains jiu jitsu every day. In 2025 he decided to pursue martial arts as a career and encourage kids to start their own martial arts journey as a way to avoid trouble and become the best versions of themselves. He still trains at The Dojo NYC and currently resides in Queens with his wife Smitha.
