Name: Devon McKeown Rank: Purple Belt Title: Instructor Bio:I was first introduced to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while studying the Army Combatives Program during Basic Training for the United States Army. After four years of active duty service, including a one year deployment to Iraq, I received an honorable discharge and returned to Northern Illinois to continue my college and martial arts education. I studied under the Hill brothers at Suda Mixed Martial Arts in Joliet, Illinois for one year while I attended Joliet Junior College. I was then accepted to the University of Illinois at Chicago where I am studying Political Science. My attending UIC prompted a move to Chicago and a search for a new martial arts school. As soon as I participated in the free introductory class offered at Gracie Barra The Loop I knew that I had found my new home. I began training at Gracie Barra The Loop in August 2009 and plan to get my black belt here and continue to spread the beautiful art that is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. |
