Alex Timberman – Black Belt

Starting his BJJ journey in 2010, Alex Timberman witnessed the growth of Professor Chung Sang’s first BJJ studio in Daejeon, South Korea, which has now expanded to 18 branches. Alex learned the transformative power of loyalty and the beauty of the art.

In 2016, he started as a blue belt at Gracie Barra Sorrento Valley under Professor Marcelo Pereira, one of the first black belts of Master Nelson Monteiro, who taught him how to play guard and Professor Justin McDaniel who shaped his top-heavy style. In 2022, Alex earned his black belt under Professors Marcelo Pereira and Justin McDaniel.

Alex Timberman’s BJJ philosophy centers on strong fundamentals, a resilient body and mind, and that “time on the mat will eventually surpass talent and ability.” While finding excellent success in local BJJ tournaments, his primary focus is on living a healthy lifestyle through BJJ.

Beyond the mats, Alex cherishes family moments and loves traveling to places of beautiful nature in California and Korea.
