Keith began coaching Jiu Jitsu for beginners in 2014, early in his martial arts journey. Given this, learning Jiu Jitsu and teaching Jiu Jitsu along parallel tracks has shaped his understanding of the both the art and how we learn it.

Alongside Jiu Jitsu, Keith has studied Wrestling, Judo and Muay Thai. His interest is in finding "universal grappling", or effective grappling that works in various sport rulesets as well as in MMA and self defense contexts.

While competition has been an important part of his development, he is primarily focused on lifelong practice, learning and teaching. This includes the lifestyle and physical conditioning necessary for longevity in a grappling sport.
