Kids Jiu Jitsu Instructor — Logic Jiu Jitsu Philadelphia
Matt Rong
Black Belt (2024) — awarded by Kristian Woodmansee & Dennis Pressey Jr.
Matt Rong is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt with 8 years of training and 5 years spent coaching children specifically. He was promoted in 2024 by Kristian Woodmansee and Dennis Pressey Jr., and teaches on the Kids program at Logic Jiu Jitsu in Philadelphia.
Coaching kids is its own skill. Matt's is breaking a technique into pieces a six-year-old can actually hold onto without watering down what the technique is. That's the difference between a class that entertains children and a class that teaches them.
Matt is also a parent. He coaches other people's kids the way he'd want his own coached — which shows up in how he handles the quiet kid, the nervous kid, and the kid who wants to wrestle everyone. He is SafeSport certified and background checked.
