Coach Larry

Coach Larry Stoiber started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2022 at the age of 22. He was drawn to jiu-jitsu from the beginning for the same reasons that keep most people training long term: the sense of community, the mental clarity that comes from consistent practice, and the physical discipline that the sport demands.

He earned his purple belt and now serves as both coach and program director at Gracie Barra Centennial. In that role, he is often the first consistent face a new student encounters, and he takes that responsibility seriously. His focus is on helping students build the kind of habits and mindset that make jiu-jitsu a genuine part of their lives, not just a phase.

A fourth-generation Colorado native, Coach Larry attended technical school for automotive repair and brings a hands-on, practical approach to his work both on and off the mat. His long-term goal is to continue growing within the jiu-jitsu community and eventually run his own academy. Outside of training, he enjoys strength training, trying new foods, and gaming.
