Jake Ruiz

In his words …

I started training in Kajukenbo at the Dragons Den MMA in 2012 at the age of 11 and earned my black belt in September 2019.
I also trained in Muay Thai and wrestled for three years in high school.

Growing up in a single-parent home, training at the Dragons Den meant so much more to me than just a place to train. It was a place where I was surrounded by incredible role models and mentors that helped shaped me into the man I am today.

I am truly DD Built. The Dragons Den is more than a martial arts school to me – it is my second home.

Introducing our newest instructor
Jason Stone

In his words …

Hi Dragons Den family! My name is Jason Stone and I am the head instructor of both the kids and adult jiujitsu programs. I started my jiujitsu journey at Gracie Barra La Cañada under Professor Orlando Sanchez and continued to train at Gracie Barra Long Beach where I earned my black belt under Professor Rodrigo Augusto. At GBLB I had the opportunity to coach kids, teens, and adults. I have been a consistent competitor throughout my Jiu-Jitsu journey, competing at every belt level on my way to earning my black belt.

Jiu-Jitsu has had a major impact on who I am today. It has taught me discipline, respect, perseverance, and, most importantly, humility.

As an instructor, my goal is to pass those lessons on to my students. I want to help them become better martial artists while building confidence, discipline, respect, and a strong work ethic that they can carry with them both on and off the mat.

Sibak Kameron Nacelli
