Mark Chappell

Mark has been practicing Jiujitsu under the Gracie Barra banner for over a decade and a half.  Receiving his black belt in 2015 from Rodrigo Lopes, Mark has since served as a head instructor at Gracie Barra Edmonds since its opening in 2020. Mark has developed a wealth of competition and teaching experience over the years, with recent competition achievements including 1st place at the 2023 IBJJF Portland Open and 2024 IBJJF Los Angeles Open, and 3rd place in the 2022 IBJJF No Gi World Championship. Mark hopes to use his experience to show others how Jiu jitsu can improve their daily lives on and off the mat.
