A bit about me

About

My name is Joey Mack, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Amal Easton and Associate Muay Thai Instructor under Ajarn Chai Sirisute.

Path

I have been training martial arts for 13 years. I started in my high school weight room Boxing, our group added in Muay Thai and Gracie Jiu Jitsu from books. When I left for college I joined a formal academy and spent more time training than I did studying, though I did graduate with a BA in Mechanical Engineering. After achieving purple belt I moved to Colorado where I trained at Easton Training Center and with Elevation Fight Team. After training there 6 years I received my black belt in 2020.

Focus

My main focus of training has always been self defense. I continue to study many different martial arts to find the most effective techniques, these include, BJJ, Muay Thai, Lethwei, Wrestling, Judo, and others. I utilize my engineering background to effectively apply angles, weight, and leverage. I am a life long learner.
