About Us
Austin Staley, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt, has been developing Jiu-Jitsu students since 2019. He began by teaching children and now leads four weekly classes at his academy, Midwest BJJ, instructing both kids and adults. A dedicated competitor, Austin regularly tests his skills in tournaments. He’s passionate about cultivating a positive training environment, mentoring students, and helping them exceed their potential. At Midwest BJJ, students learn more than Jiu-Jitsu—they join a community focused on self-defense, resilience, and personal growth.
