For over four decades, I've trained in many styles of martial arts, with almost two decades as an instructor.
​
I'm the owner & lead instructor at AXT Jiu-Jitsu in Yorkville Illinois, where we focus on classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
​
​Life has gifted me with some incredible instructors and mentors, each providing me guidance and friendship along the way. To them I'm forever grateful.
​
Several of my martial arts accomplishments include:
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt (under Roy Dean)
Judo 3rd Degree Black Belt
Shingitai Jujitsu Black Belt
USA Judo National Level Coach
​
Being a JKD Unlimited Instructor has allowed me the opportunity to earn the following certifications:
Knife Defense Instructor
Muay Thai Instructor
Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Instructor
​
MMA LLC, or Mikuta Martial Arts, is dedicated to ventures such as group and private instruction in JKD Unlimited programs, online training such as my Functional Judo course, and the online #SparLife merch shop.
My personal mantra is "Enjoy the Journey"
