Alex Zanes
BJJ Kids Instructor
I was born in Moree, NSW, a small town in central New South Wales. In 2020, I moved to Brisbane from overseas. I initially started training in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) to stay fit during the off-season of other sports. However, my passion for MMA quickly grew, and I began to prioritise it over other sports. I have competed in multiple jiu-jitsu competitions, mainly in no-gi.
Passion
My passion lies in anything related to sports, particularly MMA, jiu-jitsu, wrestling or Muay Thai. I also love teaching and seeing students progress on their martial arts journey.
