More About Priit Mihkelson’s Career

Priit’s journey with martial arts began with karate as well as about 4 years of Aikido on the side. When his coach died he left the academy to Prii. He ended up switching coaches while running this academy several times before realizing he was just a part of a pyramid scheme and left the sport all together.

This led him to opening up his own BJJ academy in 2005, MMA/BJJ club 3D Treening. 3D stands for the 3 distances;stand-up, clinch, and ground. He still teaches at 3D and is also a teacher under the BJJ Globetrotters banner.

Being mostly self taught, he advocates for self teaching. It has also led him to appreciate a multiple sources model, meaning essentially to take information from all the places that you can rather than from just one source. The reason that Priit is so unique is due to his experimental style of teaching and training.
