Professor Thomas began his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey in 2000 under the watchful eye of the late Grandmaster Carlson Gracie Sr. in Chicago.

In 2014, Professor Thomas was promoted to First Degree by Professor Eddie Redzovic and Grandmaster Carley Gracie. Shortly after, he decided to continue promoting the Jiu Jitsu lifestyle by relaying his knowledge and experience to others. That’s when the idea of ROL Academy of Jiu Jitsu was born.

In 2015, his long-time dream finally came true: ROL Academy of Jiu Jitsu opened its doors to the public in Orland Park, Illinois.

Today, Professor Thomas holds the rank to of third degree.

"I just had my first experience with jiu jitsu at rol academy, and was hooked instantly. The instructors had a wealth of knowledge and were very welcoming. All the people i met seem to be great people and have a solid common bond. Looking forward to sticking with it and gaining the mental and physical value jiu jitsu has to offer.”
