Stillness Academy is the martial arts side of House of Stillness, a private practice in Beaufort that combines movement training, bodywork, and strength.
This is a health-first school. Training here is designed to help you develop practical, fun martial arts and self-defense skills while building a healthier, more capable body.
I've spent over 20 years earning rank and teaching credentials through Gracie University, the family that brought Brazilian jiu jitsu to the U.S., Roy Dean Academy, known for the quality of its instruction and practitioners, and the United States Federation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Master Joe Moreira. I also hold a Black Belt in Marine Corps Martial Arts, and I continue to study Eastern and Western martial arts alongside my work in holistic health.
I've coached everyone from complete beginners to the Beaufort Police Department to BJJ Black Belts, and I build every lesson to meet students where they are.
New students start one-on-one, with instruction built around your body, your age, and your goals.
Sharpen your own practice as a Coach or Instructor. Learn to refine how you move, teach, and last in this work.
I've traveled to teach classes for schools and groups around the country. Bring Stillness Koncepts to your school.
Private, immersive training in the South Carolina Lowcountry. For students who travel in, and for those who want to go further, faster.
