Meet the Professors and Staff
Professor Tyler Murrah
Tyler began his life on the mats at the young age of 5 when he began wrestling. He wrestled into high school but suffered a motorcycle accident his Sophomore year. After multiple surgeries on his leg, he never returned to the wrestling mats. Tyler then picked up boxing after high school but was again deterred from what he enjoyed after needing multiple shoulder surgeries. In 2011, Tyler found Jiu Jitsu and instantly fell in love with it. Tyler started at Lovatos in OKC for his first few years but in 2014 switched to The Forge in Edmond. In 2019, to further push himself, he began weekly cross training at Marcus Antelante's Academy in Dallas, TX. Weekly he drove to Dallas to train. After long hard days of training, he would sleep on the mats at the academy just to wake up and do it all again. Professor Murrah claims sleeping on the mats is a "special" experience. He is happy that he did it but doesn't necessarily miss sleeping on the mats. After years of this, Tyler earned his black belt from Professor Antelante in January of 2021 after winning the IBJJF Masters World Title at brown belt.
