Orlando Waugh, Master Instructor

Master Orlando Waugh, now a 4th degree Black Belt,  dreamed of becoming a martial arts master at a very young age. And at age of 13 he began his formal martial arts training. Since that moment, he has dedicated his entire life to the study and sharing of martial arts and has been teaching for over 20 years.

He has studied Tae Kwon Do, Freestyle Karate, Boxing, Thai Boxing, Kung Fu, Krabi Krabong, Wrestling, Esckrima, and of course, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Master Waugh has black belts in Tae Kwon Do, Freestyle karate, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He holds a 4th degree blackbelt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Grand Master Carlos Machado.

In 2002 he opened Waugh Jiu-Jitsu Academy. His goal in opening the academy was to create a “safe haven” of positive energy where students could learn life-saving skills in a safe environment.

With the assistance of Sr. Program Director, Black Belt Sarina Waugh, they continue to spread a clear message to the community. Martial arts is NOT about beating people up. But it IS about building people up!
