Joshua Clemmer

With over three decades of martial arts experience, Josh has dedicated his life to studying, teaching, and sharing the benefits of martial arts. He began training in 1988 and has explored multiple disciplines including karate, taekwondo, mixed martial arts, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. For the past eight years, he has focused his training on Gracie Jiu-Jitsu®, developing a passion for its practical self-defense principles and its ability to empower people of all ages.

In addition to his martial arts journey, Josh has been a public school teacher for 19 years. His background in education strongly influences his teaching style on the mat, where he emphasizes patience, structure, and encouragement to help every student succeed.

Since 2012, he has owned and operated martial arts schools, building positive communities where students can grow in confidence, discipline, and self-defense skills. Whether teaching children, teens, or adults, his goal is to create a supportive environment where everyone can experience the life-changing benefits of jiu-jitsu.

Outside the academy, Josh enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter and remains passionate about helping people improve their lives through Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® and martial arts.
