Tim Harris

I started wrestling in fourth grade and built my foundation through to my senior year with years of disciplined competition. Wrestling taught me early that pressure, positioning, and accountability win—flash does not.

After completing my service time in the United States Air Force, I coached wrestling at the high school level and transitioned into MMA, finishing with a 24–4 amateur and professional record. I was never a striker—if the fight hit the mat, it ended. Most of my wins came by submission. That has always been my domain.

Ten years ago, at 245 pounds and wearing a size 36, I recognized I was off course. Rebuilding my body through strength training led me back to jiu-jitsu—and back to purpose.
