Kris Siostrom coaches both kids classes & regular classes at chess club jiu-jitsu

“Hi, I’m Kris and I’m an 8 year veteran of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I played in punk bands for more than 10 years before my kids came along. Deciding on a lifestyle change I initially started training MMA but enjoyed grappling more. So I transitioned to BJJ in 2014.

In 2016, I won BJJ nationals. I still compete occasionally but for me BJJ is a fitness lifestyle and community I share with like minded people. I like gaming, skateboarding, punk rock and hip hop music. I have a beautiful family & love living on the Sunshine Coast. I recently fell in love with wrestling but will play Z guard also without hesitation. My favourite submissions are the choi bar (which is an arm bar variant) and baseball chokes. I'm looking forward to building a solid team and family environment at Chess Club Jiu jitsu.”
