Mark Gibson

Mark is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt and instructor at Justin Jiu Jitsu. His coaching focuses on strong fundamentals, systems-based learning, and helping students understand not just individual techniques, but how positions, transitions, attacks, and defenses connect.

Mark brings more than 32 years of military leadership experience to the mats as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force and Director of Intelligence. 

His military career has included counterterrorism operations, ICBM Combat operations, acquisition, military aviation R&D programs, and intelligence operations.

Outside of the USAF, Mark serves as Practice Administrator and partner at CornerStone Health & Well-Being. His approach to coaching is built around preparation, resilience, continuous improvement, and longevity—whether a student trains to compete, for self-defense, or simply to become better than they were yesterday.
