MEET OUR TEAM
Chad, Steve, Mike, and Logan all met years ago as white belts in the same Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy. Chad gained his black belt under Alex Chung, while Mike and Steve were both promoted to purple belt, and Logan to blue belt, under Chad. Over the years, we have formed a family bond and still love training together to this day!
Mataas na Guro Agapito Gozalez has been Logan’s Kali instructor since 2003 and Logan has been his student instructor (Lakan Guro) since 2013.
We are truly FIGHTING NERDS, and we wish to share our knowledge, skill, and passion for Martial Arts with every student that walks through our doors. We promise not only will you learn the BJJ and Martial Arts skills, but you will have a blast doing it!
CHAD VAZQUEZ

Ultimately, my entertaining teaching style resonated with viewers and students, which created enough demand to lead to the creation of Paxibellum Martial Arts.
My goal is pretty simple: To pass on my love for this beautiful art. I want to teach the different expressions and science of the combat art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Because it changed my life in ways I never expected, and I can only think that it can do the same for others

STEVE PAK

I grew up in a Martial Arts focused family and have been a practitioner of Martial Arts all throughout my childhood. My passion for grappling-based Martial Arts styles began when I started Wrestling and training Judo in middle and high school. I later fell in love with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) while in college, which is when I met Chad and became one of his teammates.
Since middle school, I’ve been practicing grappling and have been training with head instructor Chad Vazquez for over 13 years. I am a USA Judo Blackbelt and have a passion for coaching with more than ten years of experience to show for it.
My goal is to teach in a way where I am able to make Judo and BJJ approachable and non-intimidating for students of all skill levels. I believe in imparting solid fundamentals that teach safety and good habits which will lay the foundation for student longevity while continually creating a positive experience!
