Larry Chasteen
Coach Larry Chasteen, together with his wife, Jada, owns and leads G1 Martial Arts. For the last 15 years, he has dedicated himself to teaching and contributing to the community. He views martial arts not merely as a practice for the mats, but as a lifestyle to be lived. Having competed for several years, Larry now focuses on elevating his students to higher levels.
With over 40 years of martial arts training, Coach Larry's passion was sparked by the original 'Karate Kid' movie. Over the years, he has trained in various martial arts styles, earning a 5th Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do under Master Rickey Ellington. Additionally, he holds a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Krav Maga and a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Professor Greg Hamilton.
Coach Larry continues to progress in his Muay Thai training with Ajarn Luigi Cuellar of the WTBA and maintains active involvement in his BJJ training with Professor Greg Hamilton in Dallas, Texas. His passion for training is evident as he consistently seeks to improve himself daily.
Reflecting on the journey, he shares, "When we began in my garage, I could never have imagined that I would be coaching 170 students. All glory to God!"
