Meet Jacob, the heart and soul of Enso MMA, serving as the owner and head instructor. Jacob's martial arts journey began at the age of 10 when he first stepped onto the wrestling mat. This marked the genesis of his passion for combat sports.
His wrestling prowess saw him through high school at Bishop Diego, where he clinched the CIF title and received the coveted All CIF wrestling recognition. But Jacob's thirst for martial arts knowledge didn't end there. He ventured into the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, immersing himself in training and competition. In 2011, he made a pivotal move to Los Angeles to train under the legendary Rubens Charles, a member of the IBJJF Hall of Fame. It was in the heart of LA that Jacob also began teaching at the renowned Cobrinha headquarters, all while earning countless gold medals, thanks to the knowledge imparted by the best in the business.
In 2014, Jacob added another layer to his martial arts journey by delving into boxing and Muay Thai, solidifying his presence in the world of mixed martial arts. His dedication and skill were evident as he ventured into the world of MMA, where he not only competed but also achieved a remarkable winning record in both amateur and professional divisions. His quest for excellence led him to traverse the globe, seeking wisdom in some of the finest gyms, and even competing in Muay Thai competitions in Thailand. Despite his stature as a professor, Jacob remains an eternal student, always eager to absorb more.
