CARLOS ARCHILA
Carlos Archila began his Jiu-Jitsu journey in 2005 and is a First Degree Black Belt under Leo Vieira. Early on, he found his calling as an instructor, teaching adult and kid’s classes at the rank of blue belt, a rarity at the time.
Carlos is a very detailed and dedicated instructor. It’s common to see him staying late after class to help a student who has any extra questions. A dedicated student to the art, he always stays on top of the latest techniques. His emphasis is repetition and chaining movements together.
Carlos also holds a BA in sociology from Northern Illinois University and understands the pivotal role a positive environment can have on the development of character. He is very excited to bring his brand of Jiu Jitsu to the Lake County area.
