A Legacy of Technique and Resilience
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, developed in early 20th-century Brazil, was born from the Gracie family’s adaptation of traditional Japanese techniques, resulting in a practical, efficient martial art rooted in leverage, technique, and submissions. Today, BJJ has become a global standard in grappling and self-defense, known for its effectiveness in a wide range of applications.
Head Instructor Dr. Brian Moore's Heritage
Dr. Brian Moore brings a wealth of expertise to Arsenal Combat Sports Club, underpinned by a distinguished lineage in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As a Black Belt and a direct student of 6th-degree Black Belt Master Leo Dalla Costa, Dr. Moore carries forward the Big Brothers Team’s legacy. Master Dalla, a pioneer in the spread of BJJ globally, has established schools in the DMV area, Brazil, and West Africa, renowned for producing world-class competitors and instructors. This lineage emphasizes the core principles of leverage, efficiency, pressure, timing, and resilience (Porrada)—values that define the teaching approach at Arsenal.
Dr. Moore’s background extends far beyond martial arts. He is a multiple-time IBJJF Medalist with years of competitive experience, as well as a former Navy Scientist, Crisis Intervention Specialist, and Mental Health Professional. This unique combination of skills enables Dr. Moore to bring both physical and psychological insight into his teaching, helping students cultivate discipline, focus, and mental resilience. With decades of teaching experience, he approaches BJJ with a comprehensive perspective, blending technical rigor with strategic depth to empower his students on and off the mat.
