Founder & Head Instructor
Dan Covel Jiu Jitsu Academy
Dan Covel's journey into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu began with a simple belief: that this ancient art has the power to transform lives. What started as personal training evolved into a passion for teaching and a vision to create a community where everyone, regardless of age or experience, could discover their potential.
Through years of dedicated practice and competition, Dan developed not only technical mastery but also a deep understanding of how Jiu Jitsu builds character, confidence, and resilience. His approach combines traditional techniques with modern teaching methods, creating an environment where students thrive both on and off the mats.
Today, Dan leads one of the most respected Jiu Jitsu academies in the region, where he continues to inspire students to push beyond their limits and discover what they're truly capable of achieving.
Dan's approach to teaching goes beyond technique—it's about building character, confidence, and community through the practice of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Every student is treated with dignity and respect, creating an environment where everyone feels valued and supported in their journey.
Success in Jiu Jitsu requires dedication and perseverance. Dan instills these values in every student, teaching them to commit to their goals.
The academy is more than a training facility—it's a family where students support each other and grow together in their martial arts journey.
