Professor Roeder is the most respected Mixed Martial Arts Instructor in this region. His teaching has had a tremendous effect on the grappling and fighting in this region of the United States and in all other area that his students have moved to. Jerry was more than likely the first Active Duty Marine to fight MMA. From all of the research I have done Professor Roeder set the stage for all Marine fighters to come. He was a coach of UFC veteran and WEC champion Brian Stann. Jerry teaches at the school occasionally and runs Tapped out to Jesus men’s grappling Bible Study at Calvary Church on Henderson Drive on Sundays. Any time you get a chance to work with Professor Roeder you should drop everything else and be there. He is one of the best human beings I have had the pleasure to meet and be friends with.
