HOW COACH STEPHEN BROUGHT A PLANET TO PERRY

Coach Stephen Eakin (pron. Steven Ay-kin) is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and has over 15 years of experience in MMA, Gi and no-Gi style Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, coaching and leading competitive teams to victory.
He began his journey as an MMA fighter from humble beginnings and had a dream that would one day earn him his namesake… The American Dream.

 He has traveled far and wide across the globe to compete with and learn from the best of the best. He has earned his place amongst the most highly skilled practitioners of modern jiu-jitsu, even amongst practitioners of whom you may already be a fan.

Coach Stephen teaches in a heavily concept and philosophy based style that allows students of all ages and skill levels to pick the information that they need, at the time that they need it. His competition pedigree allows those who seek a more athletic experience to carry his lessons onto the mat and under the bright lights, while his gentle but strong and highly technical game will provide hobbyists and physically limited classmates with the safe environment that is so often missing in some gyms and striking based martial arts.
