Chad Lundy

Professor

Role: Professor - Adults and Kids
Rank: 1st Degree Black Belt

As one of the top students at LEON, Chad has been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Bill since the age of 17.

When asked what training with Bill and LEON has meant to him, here is what Chad had to say:

“Training with Bill all these years has been very inspiring for me. Some people looking from the outside in might think having a blind coach is a detriment or is weakness, but it’s quite the opposite. Bill and everyone here at LEON have shown that anyone is capable of enjoying the art of Jiu-Jitsu as long as you believe in it, and in yourself.”

“Starting with Bill over 11 years ago has truly saved my life both physically and mentally. I’ve been able to raise my children in the gym and see the discipline he’s instilled into me and my children. He’s taught me that you can overcome anything and no excuse is too big. I’m truly indebted to Professor Bill and its an honor to be a coach under his guidance.”
