Instructor - Olivia Schauer
Coach Olivia is a brown belt under Professor Tony. She began training jiu-jitsu in August 2016 at the age of 12 years old. She sought out jiu-jitsu as a way to build her self-confidence, be mentally and physically challenged, and have a positive outlet. She knows what a positive impact Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has had on her life and truly wants to share that with others.
​
​Coach Olivia’s favorite part about being a coach is seeing the progress and growth of the students. The people in Team Passos and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu itself have helped her tremendously through her struggles on and off the mat. She loves to help people, see them meet their goals, and watch as they overcome obstacles. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a daily part of Coach Olivia’s life and she couldn’t imagine spending her days any other way.
