Professor Jason Murillo started training jiu jitsu after signing his children up and watching them train. As an avid fitness and amateur bodybuilding competitor he found jiu jitsu as a unique challenge where strength, muscles didn’t matter as much. Professor implements his nutrition background as a Registered Dietitian (BS, Food and Nutrition Science) and learnings from bodybuilding to help with his jiu jitsu training.

He teaches the morning classes and assists with other classes as needed. He has been training Jiu Jitsu for almost 12 years and is the first student of Sensei Jason Cortez to be promoted to a black belt in Jiu Jitsu. He was promoted in 2019. When not teaching or training jiu-jitsu, Professor Murillo can be found hanging out with his wife and kids at golf or baseball.
