Professor Darren McCall - Head Instructor
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 5th Degree Black Belt & 1st Degree Judo Black Belt
"I am married and we are the proud parents of five boys and one girl (including twins!). With eight members in our family, we know how valuable every dollar is, and we strive to make our programs very affordable. I began my grappling training in 1994 with Judo and I received my black belt in 1999. In 2000, I started training BJJ and received my black belt in 2007. Now, I'm a 5th degree black belt in BJJ under 8th degree black belt Murilo Bustamante. I enjoy sharing my knowledge, enjoy watching others learn, and achieve their goals and dreams!"
Liz McCall
Kids BJJ/MMA Instructor and BJJ Instructor (2nd Degree Black Belt)
"I started training Jiu-Jitsu in 2010, not knowing that I was going to fall in love with it. I am eager to learn this art and definitely share my knowledge with others who have chosen the same path! This is a lifestyle and I look forward to helping people better their lives on and off the mats with Jiu-Jitsu!"
Clay Mouser
Fundamental BJJ Instructor (Black Belt)
"I began training jiu jitsu at McCall MMA in 2009 to learn self-defense and have been a student of the sport ever since. Jiu jitsu teaches you so much about consistency, discipline, and humility. It's an art and skill that you can practice every day and always continue to find new things to learn and improve upon. The friendships you build through this sport are like none other and at McCall MMA the team spirit and camaraderie are unrivaled."
Mike Burgus
Instructor (3rd Degree Black Belt)
"I've been a student of the art since 2007. I play a technical and passive game with a lot of emphasis on escapes and reversals. Jiu-Jitsu is more than a combination of techniques. You get to set traps and exploit your opponent's aggression. It is a mental game as much as it is a physical game. I really enjoy the mental aspects of the game!"
Webb Bishop
Kids BJJ Assistant Instructor (Black Belt)
"I started my Jiu-Jitsu journey with McCall MMA in 2014. The art opened my eyes to a concept of training that requires my "everything." I learn more about myself as the training progresses and I'm able to improve myself on and off the mats. The McCalls have definitely fostered a family environment for all to train and grow together!
Miguel Q.
Kids BJJ Assistant Instructor (Purple Belt)
I started my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey in 2021. I was tired of the gym routine and wanted to do something different. Jiu-Jitsu helped me lose weight, stay physically active, but it fortified me mentally and physically. My wife and five boys also train and being able to share a sport with them is a plus. Professor McCall has given me a chance to coach the Kids BJJ, and it allows me to share my knowledge. "Teaching kids count is fine, but teaching them what counts is best." (Bob Talbert.)
