Professor Jason Stone

My name is Jason Stone and I am the head instructor of both the kids and adult jiujitsu programs. I started my jiu-jitsu journey at Gracie Barra La Cañada in 2020 under Professor Orlando Sanchez and continued to train at Gracie Barra Long Beach where I earned my black belt in 2026 under Professor Rodrigo Augusto. At GBLB I had the opportunity to coach kids, teens, and adults.  I have been a consistent competitor throughout my Jiu-Jitsu journey, competing at every belt level on my way to earning my black belt.

 Jiu-Jitsu has had a major impact on who I am today. It has taught me discipline, respect, perseverance, and, most importantly, humility.

 As an instructor, my goal is to pass those lessons on to my students. I want to help them become better martial artists while building confidence, discipline, respect, and a strong work ethic that they can carry with them both on and off the mat.

Sifu Glen Rabang

I have been training with Dragons Den and Professor Jeff Macalolooy since I was 15. Training in Kajukenbo has truly been a defining pillar of my life. The mindfulness of how your training grows through your mind, body, and spirit has helped me find balance and patience in all aspects of my life both on and especially off the mat. I have two daughters, one who has just recently started her martial arts journey and I could not be more excited and in just pure awe at how full circle Kajukenbo and the Dragons Den has positively shaped my life. I am proud and honored to be able to share my knowledge and experiences in a space filled with so much love, support, and FAMILY! 3rd degree black belt November 2023.

Sifu Elijah No

3rd Degree Black Belt, Macalolooy Kajukenbo

I started training at the Dragons Den in 2002. When I was a blue belt, I left to serve in the U.S. Navy for 6 years. After my service, I returned to training and earned my black belt in August of 2018. I received my first degree in September of 2019. I have trained previously in Tae Kwon Do, Choy-Lay Fut, and Jeet Kune Do. Kajukenbo has put all my experiences and training together into one unit. Discipline, motivation, and constant learning is what I received through this art. Off the mat, I teach dance, as well as perform. Movement is my passion and martial arts has given me the foundation for the movement.

Sifu Jake Ruiz

3rd Degree Black Belt, Macalolooy Kajukenbo, August 2023.

I started training in Kajukenbo at the Dragons Den MMA in 2012 at the age of 11 and earned my black belt in September 2019.  I also trained in Muay Thai and wrestled for three years in high school.

Growing up in a single-parent home, training at the Dragons Den meant so much more to me than just a place to train.  It was a place where I was surrounded by incredible role models and mentors that helped shaped me into the man I am today.

I am truly DD Built.  The Dragons Den is more than a martial arts school to me – it is my second home.

2nd Degree Black Belt, Macalolooy Kajukenbo, August 2022.

Aloha! I have been training at the Dragons Den under Professor Jeff Macalolooy since 2007. I earned my student black belt in September 2016 , 1st degree September 2019 and my 2nd degree in August 2022. Kajukenbo has positively impacted my life in many ways. I've learned respect, discipline, honor, and humbleness. As a woman in this world, it is important to be able to defend myself. This martial art has given me the confidence to be able to do just that.

Sibak Collin Shaw

1st Degree Black Belt, Macalolooy Kajukenbo, August 2026.

I have been training with Dragons Den and Professor Jess Macalolooy since 2013 at 4 years old. Training in Kajukenbo is the foundation of who I am. I have learned discipline, hard work, and consistency, not only as a student, but also as a teacher. Being able to be an instructor has allowed me to view the world differently, and to never teach in one style, but to adapt to the observer. I am so grateful to be a part of this community and be able to represent Dragons Den as an instructor.
