Daniel Cortes
Daniel's journey in martial arts began as a child and has remained a constant throughout his life.
Alongside his training, he is currently a PhD candidate in neuroscience, researching preventative and restorative approaches to neurodegenerative disease. His passion for understanding how people learn, adapt, and overcome challenges extends from the laboratory to the mats.
For Daniel, martial arts is one of the most powerful environments for personal growth, combining technical skill, problem solving, resilience, and continuous learning.

Jiu Jitsu • No Gi • Problem Solving
Experience
10+ Years
Experience
Daniel believes the best martial artists are not simply athletes, but problem solvers.
Whether escaping a difficult position, applying a technique under pressure, or overcoming personal obstacles, Jiu Jitsu provides endless opportunities to develop critical thinking, adaptability, and confidence.
His coaching style focuses on helping students understand the "why" behind techniques rather than simply memorising movements. By breaking complex concepts into clear, practical lessons, he helps students build a deeper understanding of the art while progressing at their own pace.
Students can expect thoughtful coaching, technical detail, and a supportive learning environment where curiosity and continuous improvement are encouraged.
For Daniel, growth on the mats is about more than becoming a better grappler.
It's about becoming a better thinker, a better problem solver, and ultimately a stronger version of yourself.
