Andrew Wooten

3rd Degree Black Belt

Professor Andrew Wooten is a third-degree black belt under Joshua Miller and has been training and competing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over 14 years. Although originally from Columbia, South Carolina, Andrew started his BJJ journey in Augusta, Georgia in 2009.

Over the next decade, Professor Andrew was fortunate to train with and learn from some of the best BJJ and UFC/MMA competitors and professors in grappling.

Professor Andrew’s love for the sport and passion for teaching new and experienced adults and children is observable. It’s contagious. Regardless of the audience, he balances principles and personality to ensure his students develop focus, discipline, technique, and the necessary confidence to execute movements, respond to obstacles, and rise to the challenges both on and off the mat.

This methodology is most evident with the kids and young adults’ classes.

“I really enjoy nourishing, guiding, and witnessing their confidence and self-esteem flourish through this amazing martial art. I’m a big anti-bullying advocate and strive to make sure every child is fully equipped with the tools, when necessary, to handle any situation that is presented to them, whether it means walking away or fighting back. I am extremely passionate about my teaching in this art and look forward to being part of your own Jiu-Jitsu journey.”
