Coach Arnaud started training Martial Arts early in age at Lone Wolf Martial Arts, a Taekwondo school in Powell, Wy under Master Chris Ivanoff, and earned the rank of Green Belt.  He later reconnected with Martial Arts and started his Jiu-Jitsu Journey in mid 2007 while stationed in Corpus Chritsi, TX with the US Navy.  He trained off and on between deployments under Professor Aurelio Gallegos at Paragon BJJ Corpus Christi, Tx (now Pressa BJJ) until 2009.  In 2010 Coach moved to Fort Collins, Co and continued his military service at FE Warren Air Force Base Cheyenne, Wy with the Wyoming Air National Guard.  He joined McMahon BJJ in Fort Collins, CO (now McMahon Training Center) and by the end of 2010 he was promoted to Blue Belt under Professor Finnie and Tessa McMahon.  In 2012 Arnaud had to take roughly a year and a half off from training due to neck surgery, but he later got back into training at Cheyenne BJJ and by October 2018 was promoted to Purple Belt by Professor Justin Jacobs.  Coach Arnaud loves all aspects of Jiu-Jitsu, but preferrs to practice the self-defense side of the art.
