Let's Do It!Sensei Sandy's Story
Raised in NYC by a suit-selling father and a bilingual-teacher mother, both from the Dominican Republic, my life blended my dad's flair with my mom's structure amidst a city teeming with diverse stories.
During the pandemic, my partner and I relocated here. She's local; I'm from the city. This pivotal shift made me reevaluate my career in hospitality and ultimately led me back to my true passion: teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
My approach is a fusion of structured discipline and adaptable connections mirroring my heritage. The precision instilled by my mother and the creative flair imparted by my father find their expression on the mats.
I established Sensei Sandy BJJ to inspire transformation through Martial Arts. My mission is to guide others on their personal journey in Jiu-Jitsu, where each student discovers their potential and crafts their own narrative. We train together, honoring the legacy of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while creating new chapters in our lives.
