Head Coach Crimson Cruz – Expert Training, Personal Guidance

Crimson Cruz leads C2 Martial Arts, bringing over 17 years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) experience to our Ocean Reef community. Trained under Professor Grayson West and affiliated with Legion 13, Crimson combines world-class technical expertise with a genuine dedication to each student’s personal growth. His approach makes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu accessible to kids, teens, and adults, helping every student develop confidence, discipline, and practical self-defence skills.

Crimson began his BJJ journey in 2008 at Legion 13 HQ, immersing himself in the authentic traditions of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He achieved his Black Belt in 2019, a milestone representing years of skill, dedication, and character development. As a multi-time State and National Champion, Crimson has proven his expertise in competition, but his true passion lies in teaching students of all ages how to apply these techniques safely and effectively.

Throughout his career, Crimson has trained with world-renowned BJJ instructors, including the Mendes Brothers, Andre Galvão, Eddie Bravo, and Augusto “Tanquinho” Mendes. These experiences enrich his teaching, allowing him to bring elite techniques and insights to every class at C2 Martial Arts. Despite his impressive credentials, Crimson remains approachable and supportive, ensuring that beginners, teens, and advanced students all feel confident and challenged appropriately.

What sets Crimson apart as an instructor is his ability to tailor his teaching to each student’s goals and abilities. He creates a welcoming and structured environment where children build confidence and focus, teens develop strength and resilience, and adults gain fitness, practical self-defence skills, and mental clarity. His classes not only teach martial arts techniques but also instill values like respect, perseverance, and self-discipline that extend beyond the mats into everyday life in Ocean Reef and Perth’s Northern Suburbs.
