MIKE REED

Black Belt​

Training Since: 1996

Promoted to Black Belt: 2024

​

Mike Reed is a Jiu-Jitsu black belt at 925 Jiu Jitsu with 30 years of training experience. He began training in 1996 under the guidance of Ralph Gracie and Cesar Gracie. 

 

Mike continues to take the self-defense knowledge he gained from the Gracies and combines it with knowledge he gained from his time training with Tier 2 Special Operations Forces in areas including close-quarter combat.

 

He actively guides students through the early stages of training, helping them better understand the concepts of self-defense through interleaving. He believes this style of learning accelerates a student's ability to recollect and understand when a technique is and isn't applicable in the current situation.

 

He enjoys helping students on all walks of their Jiu-Jitsu journey, and especially enjoys seeing his own children training on the mat with him every week.
