Greg Halsor has spent over 20 years in the grappling arts. Growing
up wrestling in Iowa, he was a state champion for Cedar Falls High
School in 1993 and went on to be a collegiate All American in 1997.
After college, Greg was intrigued by the Ultimate Fighting
Championships that he had watched during college and was even more
drawn to the little man named Royce Gracie that was introducing
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to the world. After graduating from college,
circumstances moved Greg and his family to Crystal Lake, Illinois
where he met current WEC/UFC veteran Jeff Curran and fell in love
with the sport.
Greg began teaching Brazilian Jiu
Jitsu in the Cedar Valley in 2000
and has been watching the sport grow since then. He is the only
Brazilian Jiu
Jitsu Brown Belt in Northeast Iowa and one
of the highest ranking practitioners in the state. Greg and his
class are still affiliated with Jeff Curran and his
organization.
