"Know Your New Breed Black Belts" Episode 8 - John Gutta & Claire North

On this episode of "Know Your New Breed Black Belts," we feature not one, but two of our black belts, John Gutta & Claire North! (Well, Claire is really one of John's Black Belts...)

John is a First Degree BJJ Black Belt (2016) while Claire recently received hers recently in December 2019. Together, along with Jace Vevera, they founded and run Tipping Point Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

John is arguably the best (homegrown) BJJ Black Belt in all of Iowa and has always been tip of the spear when it comes to the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu movement in Iowa.
