Coach Chad Charlesworth
Chad has studied martial arts since the age of 4. Starting with Japanese Go-Ju Ryu Karate Do reaching the level of black belt. Then he went on to train in Hokshin Aiki BuJitsu under Master Edward J. Smith. Chad began to develope a need to test the techniques he was taught so he took Vale Tudo/MMA fights to find out what skills he would need to complete his arsenal. Chad Found that he need to develope his ability to fight on the ground. So he studied Judo, Submission fighting, Sambo. Finding that these systems lacked real time application of technique. He sought out Gracie Jiu Jitsu to help him develope to his full potentional. Chad has received all his belts from Master Pedro Sauer. Chad has had the Chance to train with some of the Best martial arts instructors in the world.
