ROWAN LOVETT

Coach, Brown Belt in BJJ

I was born in Dorchester, Dorset in UK but have lived most of my life in Galway, west of Ireland. In 2013 I became a student of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu privileged to be under the tutelage of Eduardo Santoro's black belt Michel 'Durinho' Da Silva. Here I discovered my passion not just for a martial Art, but also a way of life. 

Gaining my brown belt through training, teaching and competitions, I am able to utilize this knowledge to design a personalized teaching protocol unique to each student/client, incorporating the techniques of BJJ. I design custom tailored progression plans for my students and guide them trough the competition preparation and accompany them for the tournaments.

ABOUT BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU

The word “jiu jitsu” derives from the Japanese “Jū” meaning “gentle” and “Jutsu” meaning “art”; essentially, jiu jitsu is the “gentle art”.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a predominantly ground-based martial art, using the principals of leverage, angles, pressure and timing, as well as knowledge of the human anatomy, in order to achieve a non-violent submission of one’s opponent. Unlike other martial arts that focus on strikes and/or kicks, jiu jitsu focuses on close-contact “grappling” holds and techniques, and the application of chokes and joint-manipulations.

Rowan helped me win gold in my first competition!

I’d highly recommend rowan as a coach , mentor and friend.
I decided to ask him for personal classes 2 weeks before my competition , very little time for any improvement so I thought. I was A totally different fighter by week two , with his patience, enthusiasm and great way of communicating I was sharper, faster and technically better therefore was able to win my first competition.
If you are looking for a highly skilled coach to improve your mental and physical game I recommend rowan to all beginners and advanced fighters.
