Jordan Burton III
Jordan Burton III (JB3) began his journey in Jiu-Jitsu in 2007 under Patrick Head of Golden Triangle Jiu-Jitsu Academy - Nederland, Texas. He immediately fell in love with the art, dedicating the next 16 years to meticulous training and learning the art of Jiu-Jitsu.
Burton currently holds the rank of 1st Degree Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu and the rank of Shodan (Black Belt) in Judo. He has won five major championship titles, including IBJJF World Master Jiu-Jitsu Champion (Purple & Brown), UAEJJF Los Angeles Grand Slam Champion (M1 Black), Pan-American Jiu-Jitsu Champion (M1 Brown), American National Jiu-Jitsu Champion (M1 Brown).
On June 14, 2021, Burton began training Judo at Eastside Dojo in Plano, Texas to continue his education in martial arts. Three months later, Burton competed in his first Shiai at The Becerra Judo Challenge, winning Gold in the 66KG Masters Division. One year later, Burton competed in the 2022 USA Judo Senior National Championships, winning gold in the 66 kg novice & brown belt division.
What Burton loves most about Jiu-Jitsu & Judo is physical education and critical thinking. “I enjoy paying it forward, using my 27 years of knowledge and experience in martial arts. With consistent, thoughtful practice in martial arts, a person will develop a healthier, stronger body that will be functional in society. Besides good physical health, your mind is being cultivated to become a good, engaging partner in all aspects of life."
