A: I was drawn to the martial arts when I was a kid. I was a huge fan of the Ninja Turtles which came out in 1990 so I would have been around 7 years old. My parents got me into Tae Kwon Do some time after and I did that for a short time before getting more involved in school sports. I came back to Tae Kwon Do in my early 20s, eventually receiving a Black Belt and opening my own academy in Hibbing. I was also training and competing in MMA around the same time. Q: Why has Jiu-Jitsu become your chosen discipline? A: I feel that Jiu-Jitsu allows for application of what you learn against a resisting opponent with the least amount of risk to yourself or your training partner. Jiu-Jitsu is also open to creative problem solving so that a person of any build can find a way to be effective — you are able to find what really works for you. I especially like it for kids because it teaches them to control themselves (both physically and emotionally) and their opponents, without needing to kick or punch. Q: What do you like most about teaching? A: I like seeing the moment when things start working for students that don’t give up. Jiu-Jitsu is extremely difficult and progress is usually very slow but there is always a time when what they have been learning starts working. Q: Have you ever had to use Jiu-Jitsu outside of the academy? A: I am an avid bowhunter and while it sounds completely fictional, I did once use a triangle choke to incapacitate and break the neck of a wounded deer that I was helping a hunting partner retrieve. https://ironacademymartialarts.com/free-trial daily 0.75 2023-05-22 https://ironacademymartialarts.com/instructors daily 0.75 2024-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/1625573204724-WM1T7LLLPY8J1LC82JCN/tempImageRbdKo4.gif Instructors - Chad Hughes Chad Hughes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/1625573242119-R5YZUPMP6Y6TYCKBN4W5/tempImageIkbVP4.gif Instructors - Shane Jones Shane Jones https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/77231514-be67-4728-aa33-8643a667063a/IMG_7126.jpeg Instructors - Ashley Kenjalo Ashley Kenjalo https://ironacademymartialarts.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-10-09 https://ironacademymartialarts.com/jiujitsu daily 0.75 2023-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/3c8e9c15-000e-4190-ba01-3de6df27731d/DBEA65FB-08D9-42F7-9C11-7A280F9BEBF6.jpeg Jiu-Jitsu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/6434f1c8-7b11-4fda-9842-062103bc32a4/29DD436C-D7F2-413D-B208-FDAE62F14CA2.jpeg Jiu-Jitsu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/754464c5-28a6-4b4d-b9ec-a8fa9ceef8fd/F5AE0061-D2B0-43CD-B66A-1B77A37399CB.jpeg Jiu-Jitsu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/1430238c-04d6-425d-b45f-4c0ba3270a4a/B95D9D6C-EF55-4476-9981-6EFB13B05A9B.jpeg Jiu-Jitsu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/fcd7eb06-eb42-4756-bb26-7f0bfe8c1bdf/3E75907E-222B-4B16-95CB-E585C3D4DB30.jpeg Jiu-Jitsu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/99449b34-931d-49b3-a7bb-e528dfb496e8/0407F97B-078C-415E-8C3E-49326EDEA544.jpeg Jiu-Jitsu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/e332e75f-3623-4cdd-be83-da3a02e372a8/C35B4A40-E7B5-4A8E-A69B-94F72CE283F2.jpeg Jiu-Jitsu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/77bd9165-3dbc-467d-9b7e-a1a4302351da/F93CE124-B4DE-4975-AD3E-B32CCFED1859.jpeg Jiu-Jitsu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/a115b47e-0676-496b-8f84-125fe9873d17/7487E3EB-3BF4-4C95-91FC-5E1A3DD14A06.jpeg Jiu-Jitsu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/a814cf28-68f0-4003-8347-a06436201f20/9501A5E3-A860-47F8-9122-7F17B0799D63.jpeg Jiu-Jitsu https://ironacademymartialarts.com/new-page daily 0.75 2024-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/b4c8c9ea-e17b-4620-98c5-f79664495816/Screenshot+2024-10-09+at+8.16.51%E2%80%AFAM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/d4dfaf15-e5b5-45c3-a878-0b585af02e0a/Adults+pic+1.jpeg https://ironacademymartialarts.com/chad-hughes daily 0.75 2024-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60424c4afe0cc52d1cc83ef1/1624281788734-UVLQG7AAKWN8JRDFAC97/83122609-8C48-4A5E-917C-2B076E6AA396.jpeg Chad Hughes - Professor Chad Hughes Team Black Arrow Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Professional Mixed Martial Arts Fighting Experience Considerable Experience In Striking Arts: Muay Thai Kickboxing, Wing Chun Kung Fu Professor Chad began his Jiu-Jitsu training with 4th Degree Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Professor Jared Feierabend in the Summer of 2009.
