Andy Sais

Make it stand out

Coach Andy Sais started with Coach Gates when he ran the gym out of his garage. Coach Andy joined with his son as a bonding activity, and they soon found BJJ was a passion and, more importantly, a way to foster community. He has a background in various martial arts, including boxing, Krav Maga, and wrestling. As a varsity wrestler in High School, he earned the scholar athlete award and established a foundation for hard work and dedication to the grappling arts. Coach Andy is currently serving in the United States Army and has a strong background in fitness and martial arts. He brings a warrior ethos mentality to his coaching and believes in mentoring students to be confident, productive, and ethical members of society. His philosophy is reflected every time he ends class by telling students, “if you can do hard things in the gym, you can do hard things in life”.
