Brent Ferris

BJJ Brown Belt & Instructor

Brent Ferris is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt and instructor at Stride Martial Arts and Fitness. He started training in 2011 in San Diego at South Shore Jiu Jitsu under Ronnie and Shawn Major, and stayed there until he moved to Missouri in 2017.

His brother is the reason he got on the mats. Friends around him already taught and trained, and surfing and jiu-jitsu went together when he wasn’t in the ocean. Once he started, he was hooked.

Brent trains every free moment he can find, between owning Goodtimes Barbershop in Kearney and time with his wife, daughter, and son. After years of moving from gym to gym, he found a place he wanted to call home at Stride. He coaches the Gi classes in a supportive, family-friendly room.

Also coaching at Stride: Matt Waters, Nick Grass
