Meet the Founder – Professor Nick Gullo

Monarch Jiu-Jitsu was founded by Professor Nick Gullo, a Jason Rau Black Belt with years of experience competing, coaching, and training with some of the best grapplers in the world. Nick’s journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been shaped by high-level mentorship and elite competition, and he brings that same passion and precision into every class he teaches.

Nick’s teaching style is technical, supportive, and rooted in real-world application. Whether you’re a brand new white belt or a seasoned competitor, his goal is to help you become the best version of yourself — on the mats and beyond.
