Details: Roland began training in 2005 with Chris McCune at McCune’s Martial Arts with the intent of fighting MMA. Shortly after starting, he realized how much he was drawn to the jiu jitsu and made it his primary art with muay thai right behind it. He received his black belt in jiu jitsu in March, 2016 from Sifu Chris McCune, who is a 3rd degree black belt under the legendary Rigan Machado. He has also had the privilege of training muay thai the last 5 years with Kru Tom Trutnau and has even spent time training in Thailand. He has almost 12 years of training jiu jitsu and muay thai, 8 years as a professional fighter and about 7 years training other professional fighters and grapplers from beginning to high level athletes.
