Professor James Faulkner is a black belt and he started his training in 2013 as a hobby that could do with his son. He soon realized that he had a passion for the sport that went way beyond a hobby and started pursuing it further by doing competitions and growing his skills.
He has currently been training under Rafael “Formiga” Barbosa for the past 4 years where he trains 4-5 days a week at the competition and pro facility.
During his journey with BJJ James has enjoyed being able to show others the advantages that BJJ has to offer by teaching/coaching. He has seen firsthand what a positive life change BJJ has to offer to kids and adults and can’t wait to continue to grow and expand that to others.
