Professor Alan has always prioritized a self-defense approach in every aspect of his training and teaching. With over 40 years of experience studying multiple grappling, ground fighting, and pummeling arts, he has developed a unique methodology for teaching Jiu-Jitsu and grappling. His time training and instructing personal protection agents, law enforcement, and military units has further shaped his distinct perspective, blending real-world application with technical precision.
Beyond his grappling expertise, Professor Alan has drawn from various martial arts systems, integrating their specialized approaches to body alignment, positioning, and mechanical advantage. This comprehensive background led to a necessary shift in training philosophy—especially when factoring in the presence of a firearm in a grappling scenario. Carrying an everyday carry (EDC) weapon fundamentally alters everything, from movement strategies to foundational techniques. Recognizing this, he developed a curriculum that adapts and evolves with these dynamic elements, ultimately earning the name “Living Mechanics.”
