My name is Nick Albin. Most people from Brazilian Jiujitsu know me as “Chewy”. I currently teach/train BJJ full time and am the head instructor at Derby City Mixed Martial Arts in Louisville, KY.
I started training BJJ in 2003 right after high school. I’ve been training constantly since then and received my black belt from Renato Tavares in 2011. Over the years I’ve had the chance to experience jiu-jitsu from multiple vantage points. Everything from competing and training 3 times a day to being injured and feeling miserable because you can’t roll.
I have been teaching full time since 2010 and since then I have either won or helped my students win the Worlds, Pan Ams and other IBJJF tournaments as well as various highly acknowledged tournaments like Grapplers Quest, N.A.G.A, E.G.O, O.G.C, and many others.
