Where do you offer BJJ private lessons?
I provide private BJJ instruction throughout New Jersey. I coach at two academies: Dante Rivera BJJ in the Freehold/Howell area (Monmouth County) and Ocean County BJJ (Tom DeBlass's academy) in Forked River/Lacey (Ocean County). I also travel to clients anywhere in NJ for private sessions and offer online coaching worldwide.
What is your BJJ rank and lineage?
I am a second-degree black belt under both Dante Rivera and Ricardo Almeida, in the Renzo Gracie → Ricardo Almeida → Dante Rivera lineage. I was Dante Rivera's first black belt, receiving my black belt on December 9, 2017. I received both my first and second degrees directly from Dante Rivera. I started training directly under Ricardo Almeida in 2009 and became Dante's main assistant coach in 2013-2014. I've since promoted two black belts of my own, including a world champion and a PA Supreme Court attorney.
Who is Tom DeBlass and what is your connection?
Tom DeBlass is a legendary BJJ black belt, ADCC competitor, and UFC veteran with over 500,000 social media followers. I am an instructor at his academy, Ocean County Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Forked River, NJ. You can see my instructor profile at oceancountybjj.com/instructors/george.
