Jordan Rivas Email & Phone Number

Jordan was born and raised in Houston , TX and has enjoyed competing since an early age. Starting in baseball at the age of six, he played on league teams until he was fifteen. Jordan 's passion for baseball earned him a spot on the all-star team year after year, but multiple injuries caused his love for the game to fade. After a long leave from sports Jordan 's, need for competition lead him to become active in college intramurals and weight lifting. While attending the American University in Washington , DC., Jordan was invited by friends (many of who were ex-wrestlers) to watch old UFC videos. The old UFC videos sparked Jordan 's interest in martial arts, and led him to search for nearby Thai boxing schools. Jordan found his way to the toughest Martial Arts School in the Washington area, the Yamasaki Academy . It was here that he joined in both his first BJJ and Thai boxing classes. After his first class Jordan knew that Martial Arts was the pastime for him, and he was hooked! He trained everyday with Navy SEAL's, Marines, Army Rangers and other elite fighting groups. Jordan then decided to move back to his hometown of Houston, TX to be closer to his friends and family.
