It was a social media post that led Chris Martin to find the Marquette club Brazilian jiu-jitsu team.
“Somebody in the club had posted ‘We need a coach,’ I don’t remember if it was Craigslist or LinkedIn, but a friend of mine sent that over to me,” Martin said. “I called up the club right away, introduced myself, we hit it off and it’s been a great time working with the club.”
Martin, a Marquette alum who graduated in 2001, has been the head coach of the club since 2017. Before that he served as a manager of Nova Gyms, a company of martial arts fitness centers in Milwaukee.
