Coach Daan de Ruiter is the Dutch champion Freestyle wrestling in the 79 kg class and wrestling coach at Haven BJJ Rotterdam. His wrestling background forms the basis of his style in grappling, where he excels with low risk, high reward takedowns, pressure on opponents, outside passing, and front headlock attacks.
Daan's lessons are energetic and structured. He shares his passion and enthusiasm for the sport and conveys that energy to his students. When students leave his class, he wants them to feel like they have learned something.
