MEET YOUR PROFESSOR

ESTEFAN JOSEPH

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU BLACK BELT PROFESSOR

I discovered martial arts as a child after being bullied at school. My parents enrolled me in Kung Fu at age seven to help, and through that practice, I learned the values of virtue, nobility, and courage. It gave me my first real understanding of my own physical and mental strengths.

Later, I transitioned to Jiu Jitsu, dedicating myself to full-time training and competition. Despite moments of doubt and fear, I persisted, earning my black belt after eight years of solid training under the same school and professor. These experiences have given me a unique perspective on the art. I bring that deep understanding and compassion to my students, and I am thrilled to pass on the knowledge I’ve gained over the last 25 years to others.

THE STASIS NAME

STASIS (n) : to be in a state of equilibrium or balance

We chose this name after a lot of contemplation. The most obvious reason is because we believe this lifestyle can bring you a great deal of balance in every aspect; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It also helps to provide you a well rounded life outside of the academy through it's teachings of discipline, respect and honor, teamwork, strengthening one's body and mind as well as bringing you a sense of community and family.

Stasis also means a state of inactivity. Being inactive for short periods of time, does not mean you are unbalanced. We feel that there is a place for times of inactivity. We show this through our teachings of the importance of rest, recovery and contentment.
