Tanner’s martial arts journey began with Muay Thai, training on pads in a park and in his scorching-hot apartment during the summer. When his training partner stopped, he found Josh and Angie—and quickly fell in love with Jiu Jitsu. Now, with over six years of experience, he's a dedicated brown belt and an instructor at The Jiu Jitsu Company.

Originally, Tanner started teaching to improve his public speaking skills, but he soon realized how much he enjoyed it. Teaching not only helps him sharpen his own understanding of Jiu Jitsu but also allows him to contribute to the growth of his students. His specialty? Back takes, back attacks, and Reverse De La Riva. His ideal student? Someone willing to fail—a lot—and have fun doing it.

For Tanner, JJC is more than just a gym. It’s a second home, a place where critical thinking and different methods of instruction come together to help students grow. He’s grateful for the strong, supportive culture that Josh and Angie have built, where teammates push each other to improve and lifelong friendships are made.
