Jiu Jitsu Instructor
Gym Owner

Bill Bradley is a Brazilian Top Team Jiu Jitsu Black Belt under World Grappling Champion and Olympic alumnus Marcello Salazar Bergo; Bill continues to compete into his 40's in BJJ, Submission Grappling, and Mixed Martial Arts. Bill loves to coach.

Prior to the coining of the term "Mixed Martial Arts", Bill combined his Judo background (Black Belt through Michigan State University) with Boxing and traditional martial arts to explore what he then called "Interdisciplinary Self Defense".

Bill taught in a collective he organized at Reed College and is the head coach and instructor at Alive MMA Portland.

Favorite Quote:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

-Theodore Roosevelt
