About Dana Taylor Affiliate/Team Vaghi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
The mission of our group is to teach the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), with an emphasis on self-defense, under the supervision of Mr. Dana Taylor. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has gained popularity in the martial arts via the Ultimate Fighting Challenge (UFC) and other submission wrestling events. Learning BJJ is hard work that takes many hours and years of practice. Our students have different reasons for training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Some want to learn self-defense, others want to simply stay active, while some want to fight as amateurs or on the professional level. We will be with you every step towards reaching your goals. Who is Dana Taylor? Mr. Taylor is a both a veteran of the U.S. Army and until July 2021, an active Omaha Police officer. Mr. Taylor is a combat veteran who served with the 1st Infantry Division (The Big Red One) during Desert Storm and will retire during July 2021 after serving with the Omaha Police Department (Nebraska) for 28 years. Mr. Taylor is a lifelong student of the grappling arts (wrestling, judo, sambo), but most importantly, is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Professor Rodrigo Vaghi. In addition, Mr. Taylor is an NRA certified firearms instructor for the pistol, rifle, and shotgun and teaches individual and small unit tactics. Our group under the guidance of Professor Taylor, trains the full spectrum of martial arts, both armed and unarmed. Our Motto: "Sound mind, strong heart, smooth technique."
