Our Professor
Professor Brandon Gebel began his Jiu Jitsu career in 2012 without any prior wrestling or martial arts knowledge. Having grown up in an athletically minded family, committing to the art was not a foreign concept. Brandon began helping teach youth classes after receiving his blue belt in 2014 and has developed a knack for leading youth. After a few years as a purple belt he transitioned to being a student under multi time IBJJF world champion, Diego Bispo. He received his brown belt from Diego shortly thereafter. In December of 2018, he took on the role of head coach for youth and adults at the UFC Gym in Virginia Beach. December of 2022, he was promoted to black belt under Professor Diego.
A high level competitor in his own right, Professor Brandon’s teaching style is very technical and methodical.
Professor Brandon is extremely passionate about Jiu Jitsu and he strives to help each student reach their own full potential!
