Scott Sullivan is an experienced Thai boxing trainer, competitive kickboxer, and holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Scott has been studying and teaching martial arts for over 26 years. During this time he has become an expert instructor, teaching hundreds of students how to build self-confidence, self-esteem and focus. After study in more traditional martial arts, Scott turned his attention to Thai boxing (Muay Thai) and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu because of their proven effectiveness. Beginning in 1986, he studied with Thai boxing instructor Ajarn Surachai ("Chai") Sirisute, the founder of the Thai Boxing Association of the U.S.A. After a career in competitive kickboxing and training professional kickboxers, Scott began to study Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under various big names like Rickson Gracie, Relson Gracie, Royce Gracie, and John and Carlos Machado. Eventually however, he went with his close friend and jiu jitsu extraordinaire Mario Roberto, president of the Mario Roberto Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Association and black belt protégé of Anibal Braga, as his primary instructor. Additionally, Scott has cross trained in other submission grappling styles and has trained with notables such as Ken Shamrock and Erik Paulson.
