Head BJJ Coach & Wrestling Specialist
As an AFBJJ certified referee and coach, Professor Halis Erciyas has had the opportunity to witness and learn from some of the best in the sport. This unique perspective allows him to guide students through the technical details of the modern BJJ rulebook, helping them compete with a strategic edge. In his classes, members gain insight shaped by his experience as both a practitioner and an official.
Professor Halis has been practicing Jiu Jitsu since 2014, but his grappling journey began at just 13 years old. Over the years, he has built deep experience in both wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and he is passionate about passing that knowledge on to students of all ages. His coaching style is grounded in years of real mat experience.
Halis Erciyas has earned strong results across wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, including silver at the 2018 National AFBJJ Championship and gold at the 2018 Victorian AFBJJ Championship. In wrestling, he won gold at both the Australian and Victorian Wrestling Championships in 2008, and he also received the Best Sportsman Award at his high school in 2010.
Gi and No Gi Mastery with Professor Halis Erciyas
Our Gi program is a deep dive into the Art of Leverage. Under the guidance of Professor Halis, you will master the systematic use of the kimono to nullify athleticism through superior posture and grip fighting hierarchies. The curriculum focuses on high level pressure passing (over under and stack passing), sophisticated open guard structures including De La Riva and X Guard, and a heavy emphasis on Invisible Jiu Jitsu where the subtle weight distributions make submissions inevitable. Whether your goal is self defense or the competition podium, you will learn to dismantle opponents using technical mechanics over brute force.
The GFORCE No Gi curriculum is built for the modern grappling landscape, blending elite Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with high level wrestling and submission only tactics. Professor Halis integrates his deep wrestling background to teach explosive takedowns, front headlock dominance, and the GFORCE back take system. You will develop a comprehensive understanding of leg lock entries (Ashigarami), upper body control ties, and the conditioning required for high paced sub only and ADCC style matches. This program focuses on aggressive positional dominance, ensuring you are never just surviving on the mats, but actively dictating the pace of the fight.
