Brett Bryon

HEAD INSTRUCTOR – ROLLING OAK JIU-JITSU ACADEMY

Born and raised in Sonoma County, Professor Brett Bryon began his grappling journey with high school wrestling, building the foundation for a lifelong passion for martial arts. In 2011, he began training seriously in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Esteem BJJ in Petaluma, where he spent 14 years training, competing, and coaching under Coach Michael, who guided his development through every belt leading up to black.

In late 2019, Brett earned his black belt under the legendary Megaton Dias (Wellington "Megaton" Dias) of Gracie Humaitá, a milestone achieved through years of dedication, perseverance, and countless hours on the mats. Known for his relentless competition schedule, Brett has tested himself on nearly every stage, including IBJJF World tournaments, F2W Pro matches, MMA bouts, and both Gi and No-Gi divisions across multiple weight classes.

While Brett's competition record is extensive, his true passion lies in teaching Jiu-Jitsu. Stepping into the role of Head Instructor at Rolling Oak Jiu-Jitsu Academy fulfills his lifelong dream of sharing his experience and love for the art in a full-time capacity. A lifelong learner, Brett continues to evolve as both a practitioner and instructor, fostering an atmosphere of growth, humility, and technical excellence on the mats.
