Brian Miller Bio: Reality Martial Arts Inc. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu / Mixed Martial Arts Instructor

While training in boxing and obtaining his black belt in karate, he decided that he needed to improve his grappling and ground fighting skills. So he started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Craig Kukuk in Princeton, New Jersey. After the very first class he was hooked. Every week, he made the hike up Princeton to learn BJJ and then practiced and taught what he learned to his local training partners. BJJ quickly grew as his passion, and, it is still what he primarily teaches to this day.

Brian has competed and coached in several events over his BJJ career. When Craig Kukuk and Renzo Gracie joined forces and opened a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Academy in New York City, they held the first East Coast Grappling Championship. Brian competed in this event and won first place for his weight class. He also competed and won the same event the very next year in Philadelphia. A year or two later, he competed in the New York Grappling Championships in the over 200 pounds class despite only weighting 170 pounds at the time. He went on to win and submitted all of his opponents. A couple years after this he decided to compete again and fought in the Upstate Grappling Classic. Here he won first prize and was awarded his trophy by Mark “The Hammer” Coleman.

Even after Renzo Gracie and Craig Kukuk decided to part ways, Brian continued to learn and study from Renzo for many years. He eventually was awarded his black belt from Renzo in the summer of 2004. Brian has taught Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for many years. Many of his students have won or placed in submission grappling events across the country.
