Homeschool Coach. Gunsmith. Beekeeper. World Champion.
An IBJJF World Champion story from Jewel Jiu Jitsu in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Some people wait for the perfect time to chase greatness.
John Paul Adam Keller didn’t — and that’s exactly why this story matters for families and athletes searching for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Fayetteville, NC.
While most imagine world champions as full-time athletes with nothing on their schedule but training, John Paul lives a very different reality. He’s a homeschool coach, a lunch‑class instructor, a skilled gunsmith, a dedicated father, and — yes — a beekeeper. His days are full. His responsibilities are real. And yet, he just walked into Las Vegas and walked out as an IBJJF World Champion in the Masters division.
No hype. No shortcuts. Just work.

Built Outside the Spotlight
John Paul isn’t training in a bubble. He balances family, work, and coaching while still showing up consistently on the mats. Early mornings. Midday sessions. Focused rounds when others are resting.
That matters.
Because championships aren’t won during highlight moments — they’re earned in the quiet reps no one sees.
The Work Before the Win
In the weeks leading up to Worlds, we trained side by side. Pressure rounds. Problem‑solving. Fine‑tuning details. No panic. No rushing.
Just a professional approach to preparation.
John Paul didn’t chase outcomes — he trusted the process. When it was time to compete, he didn’t try to become someone else. He brought the same calm pressure, discipline, and precision he shows every day as a coach and craftsman.
The result? Gold on the biggest stage in the sport.
Why This Matters
This win sends a clear message:
You don’t need perfect conditions. You don’t need unlimited time. You don’t need excuses.
You need consistency, accountability, and the willingness to do the work when it’s inconvenient.
That’s the lesson John Paul passes on to our homeschool students, our lunch‑class crew, and everyone training at Jewel Jiu Jitsu.
