Professor Alfred attributes a lot of what he has become today on and off the mat to the study of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. A very accomplished competitor; Professor Alfred holds many gold medals consisting of five gold medals at the U.S Nationals and one bronze, as well as silver, then bronze, and finally a Gold medal at the Pan American Championships. After years of hard work and dedication Professor Alfred is now able to pass on the knowledge he has learned from Master Carlos Gracie Jr. and Professor Marcio Feitosa and truly believes it has been a life changing passion to open his own School and be able to teach the art he loves so much!
My son trains at Gracie Barra Round Rock with Professor Alfred and he loves Jiu-Jitsu. I am thankful that Professor Al takes the time to teach each student and pays close attention to each students needs and is also meticulous with details.
As a parent of a young child, you worry about your child’s safety, especially with other kids. However, I know that my son will be able to protect himself, thanks to Jiu- Jitsu.
