Hi, I’m Logan! I’m 16 years old and I’ve been practicing brazilian jiu-jitsu since January of 2021. I started because I wanted to learn self defense and I thought that it was interesting. Over the last few years I’ve learned important self defense skills, improved my health, and made great friendships. I’ve enjoy working with Coach Dave and Coach Missy, and they always work to help me improve my jiujitsu skills. I am an assistant coach in the four o’clock class as well as the youth five o’clock class. Working with the kids has taught me patience and discipline and I look forward to seeing them on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Evergreen. I also help run the youth program in Conifer on Monday and Wednesdays.

 Since I was a kid I’ve been interested in martial arts studying different styles such as kung fu,

boxing as well and Muay Thai. At the age of 12, I started my Muay Thai journey learning the art

of Muay Thai at McMahon training center. While all my other martial arts experiences have been

amazing, Muay Thai has been the one I’ve fallen in love with. For the past 8+ years, I’ve been

learning more and more every day. I joined the BTT family earlier this year and have made it my

focus to improve myself as well as my students in boxing/Muay Thai. Come join me on Mondays

and Wednesdays at BTT Evergreen.

 Lucky husband, proud dad, AI/ML software engineer by day, and fighter by night. I am blessed to have been training, teaching, and competing in a variety of martial arts over the past 15+ years.
