Adam

Navy veteran, Plumber, and Co-Owner of Nine Line Athletics. Smart and clever; fiercely loyal and knows all things handy. He did build this gym after all! With the help of this amazing community we’ve built of course.

Nicole

Proud wife and mother. Marine Corps veteran, and now Coach of Nine Line Athletics! If I’m not in the gym, I’m either reading or chasing my kids around. I’m a silly and fun person that will be that pain in the butt coach that wants to see you succeed!

Shawn

Shawn’s passion for jiu-jitsu began in 2009 when a friend invited him to train, sparking a journey that would shape his life both on and off the mat. Shawn trained under Carlson Gracie Temecula with Thomas Cronin for two years, then continued his growth under Rafael Dallinha in Vista for another two years. In 2012, he found his true home at Surf Fight Jiu-Jitsu under Joel Tudor, where surfing and jiu-jitsu came together as family and lifestyle. After 12 years by the beach, Shawn earned his black belt in 2021 — a milestone reflecting his dedication to self-defense, discipline, and community.
