Alpha & Omega BJJ
Earl Dunn
Earl fell in love with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu years ago when he found the UFC during the sport's early years. He began his BJJ journey under Mike Horihan and John Hosford at Knox BJJ. With a passion for helping others learn these tried and true techniques, Earl began teaching as a blue belt in the fall of 2013 inside a cheer and dance studio while continuing his training under Mike and John. As his students rapidly multiplied, he quickly outgrew the space and launched out into his own building in the spring of 2014—from there Alpha and Omega BJJ began.
Earl reached purple his purple belt in 2015 and was promoted to brown in 2018 under Master Pedro Sauer. In July of 2021, the honor of black belt was bestowed upon him by his first instructor Mike Horihan. Reaching that level took 13 1/2 years of hard work, training, and dedication.
In October of 2021, Earl opened a second AOBJJ location in Church Hill, TN, which is located just outside of Kingsport, TN.
Over the past several years, Earl has diligently worked to transform the lives of everyone that walks in the door of Alpha & Omega BJJ. As a pastor, he is passionate about combining his love for Christ and Jiu-Jitsu and sharing it with the world. Earl is a black belt, the father of seven, yes seven adorable kids, and has been married to his best friend Raquel for the last 18 years.
