Get To Know Our World Class Instructors
Professor Mike
Owner & Head Instructor – Lockhart Jiu-Jitsu
Black Belt – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Founder – Third Coast Jiu-Jitsu Project (Nonprofit)
My journey began on the wrestling mats in high school and continued into military service in 1997. After an honorable medical discharge in 2001, I worked in nightclub security and management—where I came to understand the real-world value of self-defense.
In 2007, I found Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—and it changed everything. Through the art, I’ve faced addiction, found healing, and built a life of purpose and discipline. I earned my purple belt in 2016 and founded Infinity Jiu-Jitsu in Alvin, Texas (later known as Still Waters). In 2021, I received my black belt and launched Lockhart Jiu-Jitsu, where I now teach alongside my kids and my girlfriend, all of whom share the mat and the mission.
Jiu-Jitsu isn’t just a martial art to us—it’s a way of life. It’s about showing up, fighting through, and rising stronger.
That passion also drives my work with the Third Coast Jiu-Jitsu Project, a nonprofit dedicated to serving victims of domestic violence, human trafficking survivors, children in crisis, and those battling fentanyl addiction. We use Jiu-Jitsu and mentorship to help individuals rebuild confidence, learn practical self-defense, and reclaim their sense of worth. It’s more than outreach—it’s transformation through movement, community, and purpose.
When I’m off the mats, I spend time fishing, surfing, and being on the water. I’ve recently started exploring music as a creative outlet and believe in constantly evolving—physically, spiritually, and mentally.
Jiu-Jitsu gave me a second chance at life. Now, I live to pass that gift on—to my family, my students, and those society often forgets.
Coach Isaak
Jiu Jitsu Instructor | Traditional Gi Specialist
With over 14 years on the mat — Isaak Tracy brings a wealth of experience, depth, and flow to every class he teaches.
Isaak’s approach is rooted in clarity, not chaos. Rather than teaching a thousand scattered techniques, he helps students see Jiu Jitsu as one connected art — unified by intention, mindset, and understanding. His teaching style is highly conceptual, deeply technical, and always focused on the why behind each movement.
To Isaak, Jiu Jitsu is more than just a martial art — it’s a way of moving through life. As a lifelong musician, he believes the rhythm, harmony, and flow of Jiu Jitsu mirrors the principles of creation, growth, and personal expression. Forcing things on the mat often means forcing things in life. Instead, Isaak teaches students to trust the process, feel the moment, and guide students to find their way.
He specializes in traditional gi and is passionate about giving students the tools to develop their own game — not to copy his, but to discover theirs. Whether you’re a beginner looking to build a solid foundation or a seasoned practitioner seeking deeper insight, Isaak’s classes offer more than techniques — they offer transformation.
Jiu Jitsu is life. Life is Jiu Jitsu. Respect the journey, and the art will meet you where you are.

Coach Shanley
4-Stripe Blue Belt | Head Women’s Coach | Lil Orcas & Special Forces Program Leader
Coach Shanley has been training under Professor Mike for over five years and currently holds the rank of 4-stripe blue belt. As our dedicated Head Women’s Coach, she brings leadership, empathy, and strength to every class she teaches. Shanley also leads our Lil Orcas Program, where she introduces young grapplers to the art of jiu-jitsu with patience and care, and our unique Special Forces Program, designed to support kids, teens, and adults on the spectrum through structured training, connection, and growth.
More than a coach, Shanley is a guide both on and off the mats. Whether she’s leading drills, encouraging a breakthrough, or just offering a kind word, her purpose is rooted in helping people become their best selves.
When she’s not on the mats, you’ll likely find her near the water—whether it’s the ocean, a lake, or a quiet stream—where she finds peace, clarity, and inspiration to pour back into her community.
