Klein has been with South Tampa Jiu Jitsu since 2015. His deep appreciation for the martial arts started at a young age when he began training Kenpo karate. A former collegiate middle-distance runner, he is currently a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and competes as an amateur fighter in kickboxing & MMA.
In addition to being a student/competitor/instructor at South Tampa Jiu-Jitsu, he also creates video content that shines a light on our family of martial artists. Outside of the gym he works as a software support consultant and as a filmmaker for his production company. He enjoys getting into the deep technical and artistic side of jiu jitsu.
As a firm believer in the Win-or-Learn attitude, we strive to show the kids that fun and respect is the name of the game, especially when competing. Klein loves to contribute to the gym environment with levity and positive reinforcement, and is always happy to help in any way he can. He adamantly believes that martial arts, specifically Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, are for everyone.
