Bret Stalcup

Bret began training Gracie Barra jiu-jitsu in 2009 under Professor Carlos Lemos Jr., and has been an instructor since 2011. His teaching is oriented toward developing proficiency in the fundamentals of jiu-jitsu, so that each student has a solid technical and strategic foundation. Bret believes that complete fighters are equally skilled in the gi, no-gi, and self-defense aspects of jiu-jitsu, and does all he can to ensure our students are comfortable in all areas of our art. He has been training under Professor Mark Chappel since 2017.
