2x NoGi World Champ · 4x NoGi Pan Champ · 2x American Champ · 2x European Champ · Ranked #1 IBJJF

Hi! Welcome to my page. My name is Erin Quillen, and I am a brown belt studying under Lucas Leite, training out of Checkmat Upland. IBJJF ranked me #1 in no gi at both Blue and Purple belts, and I'm looking towards another top ranking at brown belt!  

While I am a world champion competitive jiu jitsu athlete, unlike many of my teammates, I discovered the sport at the age of 32 when my health was at an all-time low. Jiu jitsu helped me regain my life, mentally and physically.

My unique jiu jitsu journey has inspired me to bring my passion for the sport to others, especially women, who hope to improve their health and gain confidence through martial arts. I pride myself on making jiu jitsu fun and accessible for people of all abilities. 

My mission is to help you reach your goals, whether you are an avid competitor or you simply want to improve your health. 

I provide a safe and supportive environment where students can learn the art of Jiu Jitsu while improving their physical fitness, mental focus, and overall well-being. I believe that martial arts training is a powerful tool for personal growth and self-improvement, and I am committed to helping my students realize their full potential.
