About Us
I'm John Clarke, owner of Broadway Jiu-Jitsu in Boston. I started mixing it up as wrestler back in the 7th grade and have been training Jiu-Jitsu since 1999. I got my black belt from Fabio Araujo (Carlson Garcie) in 2008 and I received my Judo Black Belt from Victor DeSimone in 2014. I've spent time in every type of gym or martial arts facility you can imagine so I thought I'd share some of my techniques.
In addition to 13 pro MMA fights I've been around the block a little and I know what works on the mat, what works in the cage, and what works on the street.
I have trained with tons of great grappling champions and unbelievable combat sports instructors. I've fought, cornered and coached all over the world.
I've been able to win NAGAs, GQ's, and IBJJF Masters Titles with these techniques and ideas I'm sharing - this stuff has been tested, it isn't just theory.
Over the years I've learned the one single thing every coach or competitor is in dire need of...time!
