Professor Lee Rosenfield leads Shonen Jiu Jitsu as a first degree Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under the Mendes Brothers. He taught at the world renowned Art of Jiu Jitsu Academy in Costa Mesa, California, before bringing that same approach to Maryland, and he continues to compete as one of the top prospects in the adult black belt division.
Alongside chasing his own goal of becoming a black belt world champion, he is passionate about pushing himself and his students past what they thought they were capable of. Whether someone walks in for fitness, for confidence, or to compete, he meets them where they are and helps them turn their goals into results.
