Head Coach

Coach Storm Shannon — Head Coach & Black Belt

Black Belt (earned 2024) 10th Planet System · under Coach Bryan Brown since 2016 Sports Medicine Athletic Training Doctorate in Chiropractic

Coach Storm began his martial arts journey at age 8 with Goju-Ryu Karate and discovered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2008. He found his true calling in the 10th Planet no-gi system in 2009 and never looked back — progressing through purple belt, brown belt, and earning his black belt in 2024.

What sets Coach Storm apart isn’t just his technical skill — it’s his background. With a degree in Sports Medicine Athletic Training and a Doctorate in Chiropractic, he brings an injury-conscious approach to coaching that few instructors can match. Every drill, every technique, and every sparring session is designed with your long-term health in mind.

Whether you’re stepping onto the mats for the very first time or preparing for your next tournament, Coach Storm’s detailed instruction, endless patience, and genuine passion for the art will help you reach your goals.
