Outside the dojo, Coach Mark and his wife Sabrina also run Growth Mindset Collective – Homeschool Enrichment, a nature-based educational program for homeschool families focused on hands-on learning and character development.

Coach Mark Miller’s approach to teaching is grounded in the belief that every class is a chance to grow—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Whether you're just starting out or training for competition, his goal is to help each student unlock their full potential.

He emphasizes:


  • Personalized instruction tailored to your goals
  • Discipline and consistency as the foundation of mastery
  • Resilience through challenge and failure

Growth happens here—one class, one rep, and one breakthrough at a time.

In each class, Coach Mark fosters an environment where students are encouraged to challenge themselves, embrace failure, and celebrate progress. His approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, promoting a mindset that values perseverance and resilience.

Transformative Journeys with Coach Mark

Coach Mark is an exceptional BJJ teacher and mentor. His coaching style is both patient and thoughtful; he tailors his approach to meet the unique needs of each student. His clear, concise instructions made it easy for me to execute moves after just one demonstration, and he was always willing to answer my numerous questions—whether about improving my technique for competition or finding ways to enhance my overall practice. Beyond BJJ, Mark has offered invaluable life advice, embodying what it truly means to be a coach. I’ve recommended Mark to others in the past, and I’m delighted to do so again.
