Professor Jason Zakrajsek is a second-degree black belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, a fifth-degree black belt in Kuk Sul Do, and a brown belt in Kodokan Judo. He has been teaching martial arts for over 25 years and training martial arts for over three decades. He has trained thousands of students ranging from young children and beginners of every age to law enforcement professionals and highly skilled black belt holders in various martial arts.
Jason was awarded all of his colored belts as well as his Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt by Steve Maxwell, the first person to earn a black belt from Relson Gracie and one of the first people certified to teach Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in the U.S. He received his first black belt degree from famed professor Luis "Limao" Heredia, one of Rickson Gracie's first black belts, and his second black belt degree from renowned sixth-degree black belt professor Leonardo Xavier. Jason has trained with and learned from some of the biggest names in combat sports and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, and in recent years has spent significant time training privately with Master Rickson Gracie. |
