Professor Henry Stash started training BJJ in 2002, under Professor Claudio Franca, in Santa Cruz CA, where he earned his blue belt. He moved to Oahu, HI, where he earned his purple belt under Professor Kai Garcia. Her earned my brown belt under Professor Takamasa Watanabe, in Tokyo, Japan, and his black belt under Professor Vicente Junior, in MD. As a member of the military community, he has been fortunate enough to train and compete all over the world, and take every opportunity to give something back to the BJJ community, which has been so good to him.
