Ben has been practicing jiu jitsu and boxing for 11 years, starting at the Yamasaki academy in Washington DC under the watchful eye of Fernando Yamasaki. After venturing west, he joined the Ralph Gracie academy. Beyond the obvious benefits in self-defense and self-confidence, Ben has always loved the community provided by martial arts academies.
He believes that these sports can transform a person’s life in a variety of ways, promoting mental health and producing measurable benefits at home, work, and school. This inspired him to launch the Guardian Project, as he hopes to give the gift of martial arts to as many as possible throughout the rest of his life.
