Hey, I’m Brandon Groce, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt from Maryland who’s been training since I was 8 years old.

What I love most—both in Jiu-Jitsu and in life—is breaking down complex ideas into simple concepts so anyone can grasp them, run with them, and make that knowledge their own. Whether it’s teaching techniques or solving everyday challenges, I’m all about helping others grow and succeed.

Outside of Jiu-Jitsu, I run Newform, a media company in the design and tech space that reaches millions of designers each month. I spend my time building cool things on the internet and creating communities both online and offline.

When I’m not on the mats or working on creative projects, you’ll probably find me at Kline’s ice cream, hanging out with friends from the gym, or—on rare occasions—playing games when I get the chance.

I’m excited to be part of The Coalition and help build this squad. For me, Jiu-Jitsu isn’t just about the techniques—it’s about making lifelong friends along the way. Looking forward to training, learning, and growing with all of you!
