Carlos

Head Coach of Adult and Kids Striking, Thai Sparring Programs

I was born in the town of Macas, Ecuador in 1983. At the age of 11,  I immigrated to Port Chester, NY.   

At 24, I was taken as a student of Viwat Sakulrat, whose tutelage I trained under for the next year and to whom I credit the majority of my technical development.  In 2009, I started a job teaching children kickboxing at C3 in Stamford. I taught there for three years and developed a love for mentorship.  Subsequently,  I taught as the Head Thai Coach at UFC Stamford and Mamaroneck, and started Los Muay Thai in 2012.

Also in 2012, I went to Thailand for the first time. I trained for the following three months at Sinbi in Phuket, winning my first fight at a local Thai stadium. I returned home, spent the better part of three years fighting on the local circuit, racking up 20 fights on my own, but never under the instruction of a dedicated coach.

Coach Jordan reach out in August 2016, and asked if I would be the Director of the Thai program at The Jiu Jitsu Mill.   Eager to inspire and help my local community, I accepted.  Since then, as the head Muay Thai/Striking coach at the Jiu Jitsu MillI, I have been able to grow the competition team in Muay Thai/MMA and helped the Jiu Jitsu Mill Fight Team win multiple amateur titles in MMA and Muay Thai.  On a personal level, I am still competing in the East Coast Muay Thai circuit, and most recently, fought professionally at Friday Night Fights, the longest running Muay Thai event in North America, which was broadcast on UFC Fight Pass. 

While I am happy with all the accomplishments I have achieved at the Jiu Jitsu Mill, I am most proud of the non-competitive members of the gym, who dedicate their free time to experience martial arts and give 100% to each class they take.  I have helped members of all different ages with different personal goals:  from a 14 year old girl who was being bullied and improving her self-esteem to become a cheerleader, to a 73 year old woman, who shows age is only a number, and gave her all in a boxing exhibition match, to a business man in the corporate world who has learned to manage his stress and weight through Muay Thai lose 60 pounds…these are the students that truly make my profession a rewarding experience.

    100% recommend. I was new to Jiu Jitsu and the Jiu Jitsu Mill and did not know what to expect. On day 1 I immediately picked up on the comradery and friendliness of the training environment. Coach Jordan offers expert and detailed instruction, while staying committed to every individual's improvement regardless of their skill level. He runs the Jiu Jitsu Mill like a true professional - ensuring the quality, cleanliness, and safety of his facility. Great taste in music too! Jiu Jitsu is such an interesting martial art and a great way to burn fat and build muscle quick. Head to The Mill!read more

    Training at the jiu jitsu mill has been one of the most positive experiences of my life. The place is great. The students are a wonderful group of very serious , very positive people who are great to train with and lots of fun to learn from. Coach Jordan is a superb teacher. He is also very conscientious about covid precautions. In short an amazing school, great students, a great environment to train and learn and a first class teacher. I am hooked for life.read more

    This place is the real deal.  My children love coming to learn, practice, and exercise.  And as a team, they love joining their friends from the gym in applying their skills to competitions.  During COVID, the gym has been even more so, ultra clean.  The coaches have developed a methodology to keep the children separated and healthy. The Jiu Jitsu Mill is much more than a place just to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  Coach Jordan is a true community leader bringing children and families alike, together.  Coach Jordan and his staff truly care about their students' well-being and extend their support way beyond the gym.  During the crazy world we live in today, I have to hold my children accountable for cleanliness, homework, chores, and so forth.  It is a breath of fresh air to have someone I trust to hold my children accountable for their exercise.read more

    I've been practicing martial arts for more than 30 years, and one year ago, when I moved to the East Coast, decided to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but was afraid I wouldn't find a place where I felt as comfortable and at home as my old dojo. I was lucky to find The Jiu Jitsu Mill, with it's hard to find technical depth and drive but at the same time so friendly and welcoming. Then the pandemic hit... but the school reacted fast, first with it's online offerings then with safety protocols in different levels that allowed us to slowly go back to training according to our own perspectives on the risks behind the COVID crisis. Surprisingly, the post-covid Mill is even better, and in the last 4 months, I must say I learned and developed more than the 8 months before that. The combination of the team spirit the challenges created a tighter community feel, And the new ways of training, mixing the best of online and in person, small classes with limited training cells according to your weight+age+skill made learning more effective and more fun. As proof: before covid, I was training twice a week. Now, counting online etc, I train at least 5 times, wishing my 47 years old body could handle two more! Oss.read more

    I have been going to The Mill for over 3 years now, and never have I felt such a welcoming atmosphere at any other facility as I have in my time training here. I have made friendships here that extend outside of the jiu jitsu world, as well as a boost in my overall confidence level (only a few of the many pluses). Coach Jordan is a fantastic leader and teacher. The gym is kept very clean, which has definitely made myself and others more comfortable - especially during these unprecedented times. Whether you are looking to learn jiu jitsu, find a new hobby, or simply just want to get in shape, this is the place to go.read more

    I could not have hoped for a better place for me and my family to begin our jiu jitsu journey. Coach Jordan and the entire coaching team are absolutely incredible. The professionalism and dedication to teaching is top notch and the competitive achievements of the team leave no doubt as to the quality of instruction. Most importantly, they do a wonderful job at fostering a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere that makes you want to come back and keep training as much as possible. My two young boys absolutely love training and look forward to every single class. It's been a life-changing experience for my entire family and we couldn't be more grateful to have found The Mill and for having the opportunity to train with such an extraordinary team & community.read more

    As a parent, I love this place & the lessons it continues to teach my boys. ie. care for themselves and others, time mgmt, appearance.  We joined for two separate reasons, one to teach patience and focus and for the other to help with weight management and self-defense and both for stress relief and movement, an added bonus is the critical thinking this sport involves.  I enjoy watching my boys in the zone, they perform well because of the way the staff explains the lessons and during practice corrects the moves so they are doing the exercise properly.   The staff has been on point with keeping all the kids on task and accountable.  Coach Hector & Coach Ashley are excellent with younger kids.  My son admires them as do I for the way they are able to quickly dial him back in with any off-task behavior, how they speak to the children, get down on their level and speak with them in a way that they can relate and understand where there may be a disconnect,  they praise their accomplishments and make the kids feel good about themselves and raise self-esteem.  Coach Nick Rocks with his no-nonsense, no excuse approach! Another bonus you can tell the gym is also kept clean!read more

    A while ago I started training at the Jui Jitsu Mill and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. Brand new to the sport, I was a bit hesitant but Coach Jordan wastes no time making you feel like part of the family. There is no doubt about it, Jui Jitsu is a tough sport mentally and physically but it’s also extremely enjoyable and addicting. Coach and his staff will push you every time you step on the mats but you will always leave knowing you’ve learned and improved. All of the teammates at the Mill are welcoming, encouraging, and are always happy to humbly give you pointers and help your game. Jui Jitsu is an effective self-defense and a good way to learn a lot about yourself. Training not only gives you a leg up in situation requiring you to defend yourself but it will also sharpen your mind and build up your mental toughness. I encourage everyone from all athletic backgrounds to put your trust in Coach Jordan and get on the mats AT THE MILL!read more

    This place is great! After a 10 years hiatus, I could not have asked for a better Coach in Jordan or a better team/family environment. They are hands on and Jordan is constantly training with his students, which you don’t get at every gym. I also have my 4 year old son taking classes and he comes home smiling after each one. Aside from teaching him about hard work, respect and discipline, I love that this is something we can share.read more

    It's hard to find a place with schedules that accommodate people who commute to and from the city, but Jiu-Jitsu Mill provided the right amount of options. I took advantage of the early morning combat striking classes which got me back to my old self. Jiu-Jitsu Mill has great training with all its instructors (shout out to AB!) and excellent service.

    My name says it all. I keep it real. This is hands down the best and most complete school I have ever trained in. Top notch instructors in ground and stand up fighting. Coach Jordan (Owner) and coach Carlos with all the other instructors honestly stand for what coaches should be. From very basic beginners training, to Pro fighters training and coaching and no attitude. There are levels for everyone. I’m speaking from an adult perspective but all the parents and kids seem to love this place as well. No point going anywhere else but here.read more

    Needed some mat time while traveling through the US before a competition. Coach Jordan set up a next day private for me and had two ladies come in to help. Loved the training, learned some new stuff and had the opportunity to train with new people. Another plus for me was the size of the space and showers were available. Also there wasn’t any crazy loud music playing to distract from instruction. After training in several countries and states picking a gym is like picking a friend or significant other. The atmosphere, coach and friendliness of the students makes this a place I would choose if I lived in the area.read more

    Excellent academy. Coach is fantastic in his ability to walk through, coach and train you through moves- while also being able to express his positive attitude and cultivate a true team environment. For children, and teens- great confidence builder. For adults- very team oriented and familial like environment, yet fosters competition and betterment of one's self. Regardless of your age, or physical appearance, everyone feels welcomed and embraced. Coach Jordan makes you see it, makes you believe it and keeps you coming back for more.

    This place is great! After a 10 years hiatus, I could not have asked for a better Coach in Jordan or a better team/family environment. They are hands on and Jordan is constantly training with his students, which you don’t get at every gym. I also have my 4 year old son taking classes and he comes home smiling after each one. Aside from teaching him about hard work, respect and discipline, I love that this is something we can share.read more

    I've only been to a handful of classes this far, but Coach Jordan has set up a friendly, welcoming environment for beginners, and brings true professionalism to the mat. The classes are fast paced, fun and detail oriented. The people I go to class with are friendly and willing to give advice and help, which is definitely beneficial when you first start.read more

    We absolutely love The Jiu Jitsu Mill! Our son loves going to class every week. We felt welcomed from day one. They have the best coaches who really care about their students. The atmosphere and vibe is great. We definitely recommend that you check it out. We have seen so much growth in our son since he started both in and out of the mat.read more

    The Jiu-Jitsu Mill promotes a wonderfully diverse and inclusive environment. When I’m on the mats I feel encouraged by Coach Jordan and other Jiu-Jitsu players to continue practicing and learn from every challenge. As a mother, who practices Jiu-Jitsu with her son, I praise The Jiu-Jitsu Mill for creating a safe space for children and adults alike to train in this sport. Overall, I feel supported and empowered as a member of the Jiu-Jitsu Mill community.read more

    It's hard to find a place with schedules that accommodate people who commute to and from the city, but Jiu-Jitsu Mill provided the right amount of options. I took advantage of the early morning combat striking classes which got me back to my old self. Jiu-Jitsu Mill has great training with all its instructors (shout out to AB!) and excellent service. Highly recommend if you're getting back into training or looking for some new motivation to workout again.read more

    My name says it all. I keep it real. This is hands down the best and most complete school I have ever trained in. Top notch instructors in ground and stand up fighting. Coach Jordan (Owner) and coach Carlos with all the other instructors honestly stand for what coaches should be. From very basic beginners training, to Pro fighters training and coaching and no attitude. There are levels for everyone. I’m speaking from an adult perspective but all the parents and kids seem to love this place as well. No point going anywhere else but here.read more

    Can't say enough about how I enjoyed my experience with The Jiu Jitsu Mill. Felt welcome from the moment I entered the door, received top notch instruction from coach jordan, has a great way of breaking down the techniques into simple concepts with a focus on the importance of each movement. The facilities are fully equipped and spotlessly clean every day. Thanks to everyone at the Jiu Jitsu mill !!!read more

    My two kids have been going to The Jiu Jitsu Mill for about a year now. Besides being more physically active they have become more self-disciplined and confident in themselves. The coaches take interest in every kid. The facility is cozy, clean and welcoming. It is a commitment as you have to consistently attend to see progress - but this in itself is a good life lesson to kids. I highly recommend The Jiu Jitsu Mill!read more

    I tried a bunch of Jiu Jitsu places in the area and I ended up choosing the Mill. Fantastic atmosphere, with an awesome coach and a great group of people training, that will make you want to go out as often as possible and learn as much as possible. Lots of varied class times with a dedicated fundamentals class for beginners, plus a nice big mat space are also draws.read more

    Needed some mat time while traveling through the US before a competition. Coach Jordan set up a next day private for me and had two ladies come in to help. Loved the training, learned some new stuff and had the opportunity to train with new people. Another plus for me was the size of the space and showers were available. Also there wasn’t any crazy loud music playing to distract from instruction. After training in several countries and states picking a gym is like picking a friend or significant other. The atmosphere, coach and friendliness of the students makes this a place I would choose if I lived in the area.read more

    Coach Jordan and his team at The Jiu Jitsu Mill are exceptional. You can expect to learn Jiu Jitsu in a safe and fun teaching environment - and you can expect to train with a great group of students who will become your friends as well as your training partners. As a beginner, you'll experience a patient and encouraging atmosphere from the coaches, and as a more advanced student you can expect the coaches to challenge and push you to advance as a Jiu Jitsu player as well as an athlete and a person.read more

    Nothing but positive things to say. Excellent place to train and coach Jordan is an exceptional teacher. I had trained for a number of years (5+) prior to joining the Jiu Jitsu Mill and feel my game has improved vastly under Jordan's tutelage. The facilities are modern, professional and clean and the environment is very welcoming. There is a great crew that trains there which always guarantees fun and exciting rolls. I am also impressed by the quick learning curve of new joiners, which speaks highly of Jordan's instructional acumen and training program.read more

    Update: Four months in and 35lbs down so far (233-198) and no signs of slowing down. JJ is an amazing workout and builds some useful skills. Environment is everything! The people at the JJ Mill are the reason I keep going 4-5 days a week! A steady JJ regime along with eating right, you won't find a better weight loss/refining workout anywhere. Top notch gym. Jordan does an amazing job teaching and all the regulars are extremely helpful. Everyone is there to make each other better and have a great workout. The gym is very clean too. No complaints and highly recommended.read more

    Excellent academy. Coach is fantastic in his ability to walk through, coach and train you through moves- while also being able to express his positive attitude and cultivate a true team environment. For children, and teens- great confidence builder. For adults- very team oriented and familial like environment, yet fosters competition and betterment of one's self. Regardless of your age, or physical appearance, everyone feels welcomed and embraced. Coach Jordan makes you see it, makes you believe it and keeps you coming back for more. Jiu jitsu isn't just a sport, it's a way of life. OSS!!!read more

    TITLE

    Assistant Coach to Tiny & Lil Ninjas Programs

    Training Background

    I’ve trained at the Mill since 2015, in both BJJ & Muay Thai, receiving my blue belt under Coach Jordan in 2018. I’m also in the process of earning my 200 hour Hatha Yoga Alliance Teacher Training Certification.

     

    ON HER CLASSES

    My approach to coaching the kids is to facilitate an environment that motivates them to work hard. BJJ demands disciplined effort if one is to make progress. Out of the discipline, children learn valuable lessons about such things as humility, self-control, and perseverance in the face of hardship. I like to push the pace while still making it fun for the kids.
