Why Cobra Exists
Why Cobra BJJ Exists
Cobra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was built for people who want more than a place to work out. It was built for students, families, competitors, and beginners who want real coaching, real standards, and a community that pushes them to become better.
At Cobra, we teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, wrestling, and self-defense, but the deeper goal is bigger than technique. We help people build confidence, discipline, resilience, respect, and the ability to keep going when things get hard.
That is why Cobra has become more than a martial arts academy. It is a place where people grow.
Coaching Staff
Proven Coaches. Real Experience.
Cobra BJJ is not built on theory. Every instructor on our staff has trained for over 14 years, competed, and won multiple tournaments. Our coaches are professional, responsible, experienced, and trusted by students and families.
Cobra is led by Eddie Ricardo, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt for 19 years and an IBJJF World No-Gi Champion. Eddie brings decades of experience in teaching, competing, rebuilding after injury, and helping students develop the right way.
Monique Ricardo brings one of the strongest résumés in the academy, with 10 world titles, including 8 at black belt. Sebastian Black brings real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coaching experience and professional MMA fight experience. Tye Davis brings Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and professional MMA fight experience. Cameron Adair brings technical Jiu-Jitsu knowledge and strong experience developing kids, beginners, and students who need clean instruction.
Students at Cobra are not learning from people who only repeat techniques. They are learning from coaches who have been on the mat, handled pressure, competed, fought, coached, and built students the right way.
When our coaches teach, they teach from experience.

We Build Stronger People
Great coaching is not only about teaching talented athletes. It is about helping the beginner, the child who lacks confidence, the adult who is out of shape, the student who struggles with discipline, and the person who needs to learn how to keep going.
At Cobra, we use martial arts to build stronger people.
Some students need technique.
Some need confidence.
Some need structure.
Some need accountability.
Some need a team.
Some need someone to believe in them before they believe in themselves.
