Coach Ben Haas – Purple Belt

Coach Ben started his journey with jiu-jitsu in the Spring of 2021 after having attended a student and parent class with his 2 kids and is currently a blue belt.  He started his time with martial arts when his family was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, studying Okinawan Karate for 3 years before getting started as a wrestler in High School and continuing intramurally in college. For Coach Ben, the combination of the mental discipline required for martial arts, mixed with the fast paced competitive nature of sports jiu-jitsu is intoxicating and motivates him to push himself with every training session. There is always more to learn with jiu-jitsu and Coach Ben loves being able to share the learning experience with his teammates on and off the mats.

Currently, Coach Ben coaches the LC2 class, helping develop the next generation of jiu-jitsu practitioners. He thoroughly enjoys working with all the champions to cultivate their skills and abilities. Regardless of their size, strength, or ability Coach Ben believes completely that each one is a Champion and he wants each student to see that within themselves. Watching and coaching each of them as they grow and hone their skills drives Coach Ben to train even harder himself so he can bring that experience to his coaching.
