Chris Nutter
Coach Chris started jiu-jitsu with CJJF in 2010 with Professor Aldo Caveirinha. He was with HQ through six different locations before his move to CJJF Central in 2023. Coach Chris taught the Nogi class at HQ from 2017 and has made his way to CJJF Central for the Thursday Nogi Class.
Coach Chris currently heads the Control and Arrest Tactics program at HPD after 20 years as a patrol officer and is able to provide insight and differentiation between sport and real-world entanglements.
His goal in Nogi instruction is to teach that precise control of your opponent can remove or reduce strength and athleticism from your opponent or partner as factors in the interaction, which he says has been the single catalyst to creating his enjoyment for Nogi.
His goal in being part of CJJF Central is to foster development, camaraderie and the positivity that drew him to keep training with the Central family.
