Edgar Escalante 

 

My name is Edgar Escalante and I am the owner and head instructor at Jiu Jitsu Academy of Stillwater. I have been training, studying and competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over 15 yrs. On December 16, 2023, I was awarded the rank of Black Belt and Professor under Professor Travis Tooke. I have also fought in amateur MMA competition in Kansas and Oklahoma. I am currently competing in Professional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for organizations such as Fight to Win Pro and Battle my Crew. When I am not competing, I am teaching every class at Jiu Jitsu Academy of Stillwater. 

 

My teaching style is very hands on and detail oriented with a strong emphasis on concepts, leverage and conditioning. The classes are structured to challenge the individual both mentally and physically so as the student can learn to over come challenges.

 

I am constantly traveling to experience the different philosophies and training methods of many top Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Instructors/competitors, so that I may be able to further understand the art. This allows me to pass on my knowledge to my students in a safe and encouraging training environment.

I am available for one-on-one training sessions. I have experience teaching and training kids and adults, from 5 yrs old and beyond. I love being a part of someone's journey and helping them understand the martial way. Whether be it for self defense, learning a new skill or seeking to improve upon your understanding of martial arts, I can help. Schedule your 1 hr private lesson and let me help you grow.
