Rob Kahn is an American-born black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under UFC hall-of-famer, Royce Gracie. He has competed professionally in both Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts, and now runs his own school, Gracie Tampa. Khan has gained a reputation as one of the best trainers in the country, and has churned out UFC fighters and championship grapplers consistently since opening his gym 17 years ago.

Guard Passing

Khan began training with Royce Gracie in the wake of the first UFC events in the early 90s. Although he gained great respect for the totality of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from working closely with Royce, it was clear to him that the no-gi was where he wanted to place his efforts. Leaving the gi behind, Khan began to focus heavily on specializing in a form of no-gi grappling that would be effective both for submission only tournaments and for MMA. 

After training together for nearly a decade, Royce made Rob his first black belt, a unique and legendary claim to fame for Kahn. Almost immediately after being promoted to black belt, Kahn opened his own Gracie affiliate, Gracie Tampa, in his home of Florida. The gym soon became a destination for high-quality grappling training and professional MMA fighters.

As a coach, Rob Kahn has an undeniable record of creating successful competitors at Gracie Tampa. Since opening in 2004, Khan has coached 11 UFC fighters, 5 ADCC North American Trial winners, Belator fighters, EBI and FTW veterans, and multiple teams and individuals who have medalled at NAGA and Grappler’s Quest events. He is a go-to source of grappling information, particularly for the MMA community who thrives off of his preferred style of no-gi and submission-only.

In addition to coaching athletes in the sport, Khan dedicates a significant portion of his time to training combative techniques to military and law enforcement officers. He has trained Navy SEALS, Army Rangers, Airforce Special Operations, ARMY Special Forces, and has ongoing tactics classes with the local Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department.
