Brian Stellamch

Brian’s martial arts journey began at age 6 in Taekwondo, eventually leading to an American Karate black belt and national-level competition. During college, inspired by Diego Sanchez on the debut of The Ultimate Fighter in 2005, he shifted his focus to submission grappling, later putting on the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gi in 2010.

After joining Next Evolution / Kioto BJJ NYC in 2021, Brian earned his black belt under Professor Mike Mullero in October 2025. He has led the Saturday No-Gi class since 2022, drawing on his experience as a featherweight competitor (under 154 lbs) who has taken on much larger opponents from the training room to absolute divisions. Brian is dedicated to teaching the technical precision and leverage-based strategies that allow practitioners of any size to find success on the mats.

Loyalty, Integrity, Respect, Discipline & Family.

We attend next evolution weekly, the instructors and peers help build self confidence and discipline within a practice that is explored from honest reflection and growth, to see themselves in the martial arts discipline. We waited to attend next evolution for the right time to develop a true sense of martial arts techniques and community building. I recommend next evolution to families that are in for the real journey of growth strength and discipline.

Their genuine dedication has not only advance her skill development but also instilled confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
