Darrin Lillian

Darrin Lillian is a 3rd degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt under Professor Travis Tooke. He started training mixed martial arts in December 1996 after watching a VHS of UFC 2. He focused on combining grappling and striking for nearly a decade.

In September 2005, he decided to dedicate himself to the “gentle art” of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and had a desire to achieve the rank of black belt. That month he went to a Travis Tooke seminar in Houston, TX, and was amazed by Travis’s knowledge and skill. Darrin immediately started to train under Travis and was awarded his black belt in November 2009
