Mark has been practicing Jiujitsu under the Gracie Barra banner for over a decade.  Receiving his black belt in 2015 from Rodrigo Lopes, Mark has since served as a head instructor at Gracie Barra Bothell, and now looks to help build another Jiujitsu academy in Edmonds.  Mark has developed a wealth of competition and teaching experience over the years, and hopes to use that to show others how Jiu jitsu can improve their daily lives off the mat.
