"Be positive and the challenge will be easier." -Rickson Gracie
Kola Ajose
Black Belt Head Instructor
Kola began his Jiu Jitsu journey in 1996 at the world renowned Rickson Gracie Jiu Jitsu academy in West Los Angeles, California. He was fortunate to join the academy at a time when the roster included the likes of Luis "limao" Heredia, Mauricio, Luiz Claudio, Thiago Veiga, Rockson Gracie, Henry Akins, Beau Hershberger, Cristiano Marcello, Niko Han, Gonzalo Medina and many other "assassins"!! It was in this lab that the foundation for Kola's Jiu JItsu was developed.
After reuniting with Luiz Claudio and Thiago Veiga in 2013, Kola was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of opening a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy. With the help of Black belt phenom Kyle Cometta, LCCT San Pablo was born. Under the LCCT banner created by Luiz Claudio and Thiago Veiga, Kola has been able to spread the blessing of Jiu Jitsu FOR ALL PEOPLE TO ENJOY.

Saima (Sam) Latif
Brown Belt Lead Instructor
“Free your mind of fear. Be open, be positive, and embrace the beauty of your journey” Kola Join The Movement!! After graduating from UC Berkeley with a degree in Biology and English, Sam embarked upon a career centered around understanding the efficiency of the human body.
This journey took her through the study of yoga, massage, dance, meditation and martial arts. Her goal was to unleash all the ways the body can move for expression, protection, correction and connection.
Sam is a decorated martial artist. She holds black belts in Karate, Kung Fu, Wushu, and Tai Chi. In addition, she is an extremely technical brown belt in Jiu Jitsu.
A career in the study of the human anatomy as well as an understanding of how to use one’s body for efficiency when in the eye of conflict makes Sam an exceptional resource as an instructor.
At 5ft 1inch, Sam is not physically imposing. This has forced her to always focus on being efficient and precise with her techniques. As a result, her students have the benefit of understanding that the techniques she shows really do work. After all, if she can disarm a man twice her size, then surely so can they.
“Always be learning!!” Saima Latif
