Brett Casser

Instructor Casser has been training for more than 45 years in the martial arts, practically all of it as a "stand-up fighter". After teaching Tae Kwon Do, Hap Ki Do, Boxing and American KickBoxing for the past 22 years full time, and seeing what the Gracie Combatives System had to offer his students to make them "totally prepared" for whatever they might encounter, inside or outside of the ring, he decided to enroll in the instructor certification course this past spring (April, 2009). "Preparing for the qualifying tests, passing them and being able to come out to The Gracie Academy to learn the best way to teach this incredible curriculum has turned out to be one of the highlights of my martial arts career so far. My experience with the Gracie Family and all of their support staff has been absolutely outstanding. Becoming a certified training center is by far one of the best things I can do to give my students the final piece of the puzzle to ensure their training is the most complete it can be. My teaching style has always been very personal; discovering the way each student learns best and then guiding them appropriately, setting high standards, but with a friendly, good-natured approach. My students say that besides the great training they receive, it's my sense of humor that keeps them coming back for more..." Mr. Brett Casser became a Gracie Combatives Certified Instructor in August 2009.
