Jacob "BullFrog" Tsypkin

A Monterey native, Jacob comes from a lifelong background of martial arts. Having spent the first three years of high school ignoring his schoolwork and focusing on training, teaching, and competing in Tang Soo Do (he has competed and won on the local, national, and international level,) Jacob should have known that his future lay in the realm of athletics.

After two semesters of junior college in California, Jacob spent three months at the University of London. While there, he helped Andrew Stemler of CrossFit London teach classes and run various seminars. Upon his return to the United States, Jacob completed his CrossFit Level I Certification (he also possesses the CrossFit Olympic Weightlifting Certification) and moved to northern Virginia to take a job as head CrossFit trainer at Capital Jiu Jitsu, one of the top mixed martial arts facilities on the East Coast.

After gaining experience and insight with his work at Capital Jiu Jitsu, Jacob decided to move home and open his own CrossFit affiliate. He hopes to help Monterey's large military, police, and firefighting communities, high school and collegiate athletes, and anyone else who is willing to "show up, not quit, and ask questions" (to quote Coach Dan John) get in the best shape possible to live their life, play their sport, and do their job.
