Fabian Ortiz

Prior to his involvement in Jiu-Jitsu, Fabian had been accustomed to the nightlife-focused routine of the culinary world. Initially drawn to muay thai, Fabian’s trajectory took a transformative turn when he encountered DMJJC owner, Mike Phelps. Fascinated by his first class experience with Mike, he embarked on a journey of committed engagement.

Gradually escalating his involvement, Fabian progressed from attending one daily class to dedicating himself to two sessions a day. His innate thirst for advancement and mastery drove him to consistently refine his technique, an especially pivotal aspect given his smaller stature. The onset of the Covid pandemic presented Fabian with an opportunity to depart from the restaurant domain for good and segue into the realm of Jiu-Jitsu instruction for children. This transition revealed his passion for teaching, as he discovered fulfillment in guiding individuals toward their objectives and fostering their Jiu-Jitsu prowess.
